Mt Darwin in Mashonaland Central Province is set to host this year`s independence celebrations, as the Second Republic continues to push for inclusivity and decentralisation of national programs.
Mt Darwin is a historical town which was the entry point for the both the Zimbabwe National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and the Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) as they launched an offensive into the Front when the liberation struggle entered its decisive phase.
Speaking at the Post Cabinet briefing yesterday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said Cabinet received an update on the 2023 Independence Day Celebrations which was presented by the Minister of Local Government and Public Works Honourable July Moyo.
“The venue of the 2023 Children’s Party and Independence Day Celebrations on 17 and 18 April will be Mt. Darwin Centre, in Mashonaland Central Province. The decentralisation of this august national event is in line with the Second Republic’s devolution agenda, and the ethos of “Leaving No One and No Place Behind,” she said.
Traditionally, Celebrations were held in Harare, but following the cancellation of the 2020 Independence festivities due to Covid 19, the Government decided to decentralise the event.
