“The strong bilateral relations between Zimbabwe and Zambia, highlighting the significance of cooperation in defense and security.”

“We are thinking big. As you are aware, recent developments, including the selection of the Cabinet, reflect our serious intentions. We aim to expand opportunities and ensure that the benefits are shared, particularly with those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us to reach our current position.”

“I am pleased that war veterans are integral to this portfolio. The new Constitution clearly outlines the vital contributions made by war veterans and collaborators, emphasizing the need to address their concerns as thoroughly as possible.”

“As the women of Zimbabwe, particularly within Zanu PF, we truly value this acknowledgment. It was long overdue, given that we stood alongside our male counterparts during the liberation struggle.

We sincerely appreciate this recognition.”
