With the recent introduction of the Presidential War Veterans Fund project in Gwanda, a major commitment to aiding Zimbabwe’s war veterans was made.
This program, led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, seeks to improve the living conditions of veterans through a number of development projects, such as drilling solar-powered boreholes and building solar-powered homes.
Paul Tungwarara, the presidential advisor, stressed the value of growth and togetherness during the event, urging Zimbabweans to focus on positive endeavours rather than destructive ones.
He said, “We don’t want war; we want to build,” highlighting the government’s commitment to creating a rich and peaceful country.
President Mnangagwa significantly contributed to the campaign, including USD $120 in cash allowances for each war veteran, 500 bicycles, and 100 food hampers.
These contributions demonstrate the President’s dedication to enhancing the lives of those who battled for Zimbabwe’s independence.
Speaking on their behalf, Cde Mahiya thanked the veterans for their support and recognised their sacrifices as young people.
He said, “These brave men and women fought not just for independence but for the very future we enjoy today,” emphasising the continued need for support and acknowledgement.
The government is carrying out long-term projects in addition to offering immediate assistance, like raising living standards with solar-powered dwellings and supplying clean water through solar-powered boreholes.
Tungwarara emphasised that these projects mark a new era of growth and encouraged young people to participate actively in the country’s development.
President Mnangagwa has also approved a massive poultry project designed especially for war veterans to integrate them into the nation’s economic structure.
This program is anticipated to empower veterans and allow them to contribute substantially to Zimbabwe’s development.
“We need to build the country using the leadership of President Emmerson Mnangagwa,” he said.
