The Second Republic’s Policy of Devolution and Decentralisation aims to ensure inclusive and participatory development which is guided and directed by communities. Development priorities are now being identified by communities towards genuine and sustainable development designed to accelerate the process of taking our people out of poverty and into prosperity.
Broad-based, inclusive development and empowerment which leaves no person, no family or community behind are indeed the ultimate panacea to durable National Unity. Under the Second Republic, the very fabric and sense of national belonging is being consolidated.
The year we are about to start is a year in which Zimbabwe goes to the polls. We need lasting unity and durable peace in our country. Elections should never be an excuse or pretext for political conflict, disturbances, hate speech or disharmony. Unity, patriotism, loyalty and love for our great motherland, Zimbabwe should always be our guiding beacon; no matter the season or times. This is the rich tradition we must bequeath to future generations.
Drawing from the legacy and lessons of the Unity Accord, unity, peace, stability, freedom and development are guaranteed under the Second Republic.
Our Motherland, Zimbabwe shall today, tomorrow and for all times be a united nation at peace with itself and for itself.
Let us, therefore, individually and collectively use this day to recommit ourselves to jealously guard, defend, preserve and promote the unity, peace and development we are enjoying.
As I conclude, I urge the nation, motoring and commuting public to be safe and exercise extreme caution on the roads. Let us also remain vigilant and continue adhering to the COVID-19 public health protocols and getting vaccinated.
I wish all Zimbabweans at home and in the Diaspora, a joyous Christmas and a prosperous 2023. May the New Year bring new hope and greater prospects for our Nation as we march on in our irreversible socio-economic growth trajectory towards Vision 2030.
Happy National Unity Day Zimbabwe.
God bless you.
God bless Zimbabwe.
I thank you.
