The First Secretary and President of the ruling Party, ZANU PF, His Excellency Cde E.D Mnangagwa has called on Zimbabweans to take advantage of this Easter holiday season to cement peace and unity.

He said this during the 375th Ordinary Session of the Politburo at the Party headquarters this Wednesday afternoon.

Easter holidays begin this Friday and most congregations gather at different prayer mountains across the country as they remember the death of Jesus Christ.

"Zimbabwe is largely a Christian and God-fearing nation, with peace and unity being vital pillars of our nation building. Let us take the opportunity of the various activities lined ahead of both Government and the Party to preach and live in unity, peace, love and harmony," President Mnangagwa said.

"In a few days to come, I will be attending the Easter gathering organised by the Zion Christian Church in Masvingo.

"We must join communities as they congregate across our Wards, districts and provinces, towards cementing the prevailing peace, unity and social cohesion, which bind us as one people.

"In conclusion, our aim as the Party remains ensuring that we the descendants of Munhumutapa forever remain masters of our destiny. This is in itself one of the cornerstones of the People’s Revolution. We must as the Party, at every level, continue to work towards and facilitate the realisation of this overarching revolutionary mission."
