His Excellency, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa this week officially presided over the first meeting of the Children of Zimbabwe’s gallant sons and daughters.

Writing about his encounter, President Mnangagwa said, “Today, I had the distinct honour of presiding over the Inaugural Presidential Interface with Children of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC).

Running under the theme: "Safeguarding the Legacy, Towards Vision 2030," this landmark engagement is a testament to our enduring commitment to protecting our history while building a prosperous future.

During the interface, I had the pleasure of touring several vibrant exhibition stands and interacting with brilliant exhibitors from the Zimbabwe National Army, the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services, and various innovative empowerment projects spearheaded by the children of our veterans themselves.

To ensure that the descendants of our liberation heroes move beyond being bystanders and become active, leading contributors to our national development, I also officially commissioned trucks and tractors as part of a targeted empowerment initiative.

Our independence was won through sacrifice; its legacy will be preserved through economic empowerment. 

Together, we are safeguarding our heritage and driving forward toward Vision 2030.”
