Government has acknowledged the role of sporting and non-sporting achievement by Zimbabweans in various fields in raising the Zimbabwean flag high on the international arena.
Presenting a report before Cabinet in Harare yesterday on the Zimbabwean Achievements in the Sporting and Non-sporting Arena, Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation, Honourable Dr. Kirsty Coventry expressed gratitude to the nation for the support rendered to the Zimbabwean Moot Team.
The Zimbabwean Moot Team competed in the 2022 Euro Moot Court Competition finals against the Netherlands and came first.
In a post Cabinet briefing to the Press, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa revealed that government is happy and proud of the achievement of the team and joins the nation in congratulating the students for raising the Zimbabwean flag high and putting Zimbabwe on the world map.
“The nation is also informed that two Zimbabwean tennis umpires, Fridlanger Kadzombe and Kossam Mhangami, are officiating at the 2022 edition of the Wimbledon Championships being held in London,” said Minister Monica Mutsvangwa.
The 135th Wimbledon Championship, which began on 27th June 2022 will end on 10th July 2022.
This is the first time in history that two Zimbabwean official have officiated at this prestigious event.
Cabinet further noted progress being made by the Zimbabwe Rugby Team (Sables), which beat Ivory Coast at the ongoing African Championships and is vying for a 2023 World Cup qualification.
” If Zimbabwe wins this tournament the country will automatically qualify for the 2023 World Rugby Championships,” said minister Mutsvangwa.
Such non-political achievements are regarded highly as good marketing tools for the country’s brand as a destination for tourism and investment and as such play an active complimentary role to the country’s engagement and reengagement efforts.
