Comrades and Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen; as we pay our last respects to the late National Hero, Retired Brigadier General Dr Michael Chaminuka.

“Let us never forget our long protracted and arduous, liberation war history. We have a duty to keep this history alive, for the benefit of future generations. “A people who do not know their history are like trees without roots”. This history must, therefore, continue to inspire us as we harness the many opportunities and ward[1]off the challenges that we may face as we march on to realise Vision 2030.

“We are forever emboldened by our philosophy Nyika inovakwa, inotongwa, inonamatirwa nevene vayo. Ilizwe lakhiwa, libuswe, likhulekelwe ngabanikazi balo,”said President Mnangagwa.

“The historic event is preceded by the SADC Industrialisation Week, which will be running next, from the 28th of July to 2nd of August. Industry, commerce and institutions of higher education as well as our entrepreneurs, innovators, micro, small and medium enterprises are encouraged to leverage on this event to further leap-frog our country’s ongoing industrialisation and modernisation drive,” said President Mnangagwa.
