Last year, ZANU PF mobilized churches to support President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s re-election campaign.
Today, the ZANU PF provincial leadership will convene a provincial coordination committee meeting to prepare for the Independence Day celebrations.
As part of the festivities, the Independence Day torch will journey through the Butcher area in Rusape, commemorating the sacrifices made during the liberation struggle. The torch will then proceed to Dzapasi Assembly Point before reaching its final destination at Murambinda B Secondary School, where the celebrations will be held.
