Reflecting on Zimbabwe's Journey to Independence

As we countdown towards Zimbabwe's Independence Day, it is important to reflect on the journey that led us here.

It was on April 18th, 1980 that Zimbabwe gained independence from British colonial rule after years of struggle and sacrifice.

The road to independence was not an easy one. It was marked by fierce resistance against colonialism, with many brave men and women sacrificing their lives for the cause.

13/04/2023

The Zimbabwe Independence Flame is an enduring symbol of the country's struggle for freedom and its commitment to building a better future for all its citizens.

As the flame continues to burn brightly, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence, and a beacon of hope for the generations to come.
