…as Uhuru celebrations draw closer
By Courage Dutiro
Buhera Rural District Council (RDC) is anticipating that this year’s national Independence celebrations the district is hosting will unlock some economic fortunes for the locals especially those in businesses like food outlets, beverages and the hotel industry.
This year’s main celebrations will be held at Murambinda B Secondary School with Murambinda A Primary School hosting the children’s party and Murambinda B Primary School hosting the independence anniversary Gala.
The Rural District Council Chairperson, Thomas Matsenhura said the influx of visitors during the celebrations presents a golden business opportunity to local people that could leave them counting fortunes.
“We are expecting that local business people will benefit from the event as the whole nation will be here. Some villagers may benefit through selling local delicacies like nyii, mauyu, and other wild fruits found around Buhera,” said Matsenhura.
He also said with preparations for the event now at an advanced stage, they are already witnessing an influx of entrepreneurs setting up markets in Murambinda.
“People are already flocking into the district to look for places to set markets so that they make money during the celebrations,” he said.
The 2024 Independence Anniversary Celebrations will run under the theme “Zim@44: Unity, Peace and Development Towards Vision 2030.”
As usual Highlanders and Dynamos Football Clubs will compete for the President’s Independence Trophy while Manica Diamonds Football Club (Manicaland Province) will take on Simba Bhora Football Club from Mashonaland Central Province after the Children’s Party.
