President Emmerson Mnangagwa has encouraged Zimbabweans to safeguard their national heritage as a way of appreciating the heroes who went to war and fought for the independence of Zimbabwe.
President Mnangagwa said this on Saturday while addressing at a ZANU PF Star Rally in Magunje, Mashonaland West Province.
“We are all responsible for safeguarding our heritage. We welcome all those who are willing to help us safeguard this heritage of ours. To those who are unwilling to walk hand-in-hand with us, we say go your separate way. Mbuya Nehanda said her spirit shall rise and it has been fulfilled.
“Young boys and girls from all corners of this country rose and went to war to fight for this country. Many were left in unmarked graves in foreign lands and also here in our country,” said President Mnangagwa.
President Mnangagwa urged Zimbabweans to show their appreciation to the liberation heroes through voting for the ZANU PF party on 23 August 2023.
“We continue to pay our respect to them because they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We can only thank them by voting ZANU PF. Let us unite under our flag and national anthem that were brought by ZANU PF. On August 23, we must, across the board, go and vote ZANU PF. ZANU PF is unstoppable,” said President Mnangagwa.
Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa has encouraged Zimbabweans to join ZANU PF and be part of the Munhumutapa Empire.
“The best advice is for you to join us and be part of the great nation of Munhumutapa. We, the people of Zimbabwe, are the descendants of the Munhumutapa Empire. So, on August 23, we want to defeat them resoundingly in peace and harmony. A vote for ZANU PF is a vote for freedom; it’s a vote for dignity.
“Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo, igotongwa nevene vayo, igonamatirwa nevene vayo,” said the President.
Munhumutapa was the Mutapa Empire which stretched between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers of Southern Africa in the modern states of Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The empire was centered on a city that is now known as the Great Zimbabwe hence the President`s mantra “Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo’.
