President Emmerson Mnangagwa on May 1, 2025, launched the month-long National Culture Month.
The ongoing celebrations will run until the 31st of May under the theme “Celebrating Indigenous Voices.”
Recently in Chiredzi East, our beloved ruling party paraded their luxurious vehicles before poor, impoverished villagers—showcasing their culture of looting state resources under the Second Republic.
In the true spirit of the “Leave No One Behind” mantra, Ruka Chivende made sure some barefooted rural folks in Chiredzi had a glimpse of the new model Range Rovers that were part of his motorcade.
The liberators visited one of the poorest parts of Zimbabwe, and Mnangagwa must have felt proud witnessing the gullied roads in the area.
Through coercion and persuasion, villagers in rural Chiredzi constituencies have been voting for ZANU PF since 1980.
As a token of appreciation, the ruling party has made sure the infrastructure in the area remains undisturbed by renovations.
Recently, Chilonga Bridge across the Runde River was swept away by floods. In the true sense of “Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo,”Chilonga villagers placed boulders on the bridge to make it passable.
This is the same bridge Dr Amai uses when visiting her Chambuta Children’s Home!
After the free viewing of state-of-the-art vehicles and designer-made suits, the local folks—the voters—had an opportunity to partake in free opaque beer and a box of Chicken Inn.
What more do voters need besides free opaque alcohol and a box of Chicken Inn every five years?
As part of his message, Trabablas urged citizens to protect their heritage.
Yes, the same heritage he is dishing out to the Chinese, who are now mining in Hwange National Park and desecrating graves of chiefs in the mountains of Mutoko.
