Zimbabwe will host the 2024 Regional World Children’s Day Celebrations in Hwange District, Matabeleland North Province, from the 15th to the 17th of November 2024. The event will run under the theme “Educate and Skill the African Child for Prosperity.”
The day unites governments all over the world in celebrating advancements made in achieving children’s rights, shedding light on critical issues affecting children’s lives and supporting children and young people to be advocates for their rights.
Speaking at the post cabinet briefing this Tuesday, Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Hon. Dr Jenfan Muswere advised the nation that His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa will officiate at the event.
” He (The President) will be joined by Head of States from Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique and South Africa,” said Minister Muswere.
The event built on the engagements established in Botswana in 2021 and Zambia in 2022, where a commitment was made to create a Heads of State Network. The network serves as a platform to discuss issues of mutual concern and develop concrete strategies to address children’s rights in their respective countries and to renew their promise to promote and protect children’s rights.
