His Excellence Cde Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa
On this special day, we extend our warmest wishes to you, President Mnangagwa! As we celebrate your birthday, we also reflect on the significant strides made under your leadership, particularly for the people of Hwange District in Matabeleland North.
Your commitment to economic development has brought tangible benefits to our community. The introduction of brick moulding machines by Twalumba Investments, supported by Boyz Dzamdara, will create local job opportunities and stimulate growth in the construction sector.
Additionally, mining companies like South Mining are giving back by construction of a public library for the Hwange community, Madumabisa borehole drilling project for clean water, and sponsoring sports initiatives to combat drugs and substance abuse.
Infrastructure projects, such as the commissioning of Hwange Unit 7 & 8, which adds 600MW to the national grid, have greatly enhanced energy availability for our industries and households. The upcoming Titan thermal power plant promises even more growth and stability for our region.
Your administration’s focus on National dialogue has empowered local voices, as seen with the licensing of community radio stations like Lyeja FM in Hwange, Breeze Fm in Victoria Falls and Twasumpuka in Binga. This initiative promotes our native languages and allows for meaningful discussions about local issues. Furthermore, the Portfolio Committee’s engagement with Hwange residents on dual administration reflects your commitment to responsive governance.
In healthcare, the $200,000 funding for the construction of Bhale Clinic, along with ongoing efforts to ensure quality, demonstrates your dedication to improving health services in our area.
Your involvement in the COP15 Ramsar Convention held at Victoria Falls underscores your commitment to environmental sustainability and the conservation of our rich natural heritage. This event not only highlighted Zimbabwe’s leadership in global environmental discussions but also showcased our beautiful landscapes to the world.
As we endorse your Vision 2030, we are inspired by your ambition to transform Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-income economy. This vision encompasses sustainable development, economic growth, and social progress, which are vital for the prosperity of our nation.
Culturally, the recent installation of Chief Mvuthu after years of succession struggles is a testament to your support for our traditions and community cohesion. Additionally, the elevation of women in leadership, exemplified by the appointment of Silibaziso Mlotshwa as chief in Jambezi, marks a significant step towards gender equality.
As you celebrate another year of life, we are grateful for your resilience and determination to lead Zimbabwe toward a prosperous future. May this year bring you joy, health, and the strength to continue driving our nation forward.
Happy Birthday, your excellency ! Together, we look forward to building a brighter future for Hwange and all of Zimbabwe.
