Schoolchildren To Contribute US$1 Each For Independence Day Celebrations In Gokwe

Schoolchildren will fund the 2025 Independence Day celebrations, which will be held in Nembudziya, Gokwe North District, Midlands Province, through a once-off Civics Day, where they are required to pay no more than US$1 each.

According to a letter dated 25 March 2025, from the Gweru District Schools Inspector (DSI) addressed to the Provincial Education Director (PED) for Midlands Province, school heads are expected to deposit the money raised on Civics Day into the BSPZ account.

The DSI, T. Mahlokozera, said the funds raised will be used to purchase regalia, food, and fuel for the 205 students, 20 teachers, and 138 heads attending the Nembudziya Independence Day celebrations. Part of the letter reads:

The District is requesting all schools to conduct a once-off civics in order to purchase regalia, food and fuel including unforeseen costs for the Nembudziya Independence Celebrations to be conducted on the 18th of April 2025.
The Heads are expected to deposit the civics money in the BSPZ account. The civic money must not exceed 1$ per child.

The requirement for schoolchildren to fund Independence Day celebrations is unusual, though not surprising, considering that civil servants in rural areas are asked to pay US$2 each, while villagers must contribute US$5 to fund the festivities.

Independence Day is celebrated annually on April 18, marking the country’s liberation from colonial rule in 1980.

The day is filled with vibrant parades, traditional dances, and festivities that showcase Zimbabwe’s cultural heritage.

This year’s event will be held at Mutora Business Centre. A Children’s Party will take place at Nyamuroro High School, and the Independence Gala will be held at Nembudziya Government High School on April 17.

Football enthusiasts can look forward to matches between Simba Bhora and FC Platinum at the main celebrations, while Herentals Queens and Black Rhinos will play at the Children’s Party.

Why robbing parents who are struggling, statement is saying not more than a dollar, it's a lot of money when put together, why are the Chinese looting minerals not funding the independence celebrations coz without the independence they wouldn't be mining. It's high time our government has to stop this madness

Where on this planet to people pay for national events,are you saying government has no money.How come government had promised USD300.000 to the warriors and in the same breathe kushugurudza vana ne vabereki ne ma USD 1.00 per child ? Rural house holds end up paying more that USD 8.00.which is lot of money.

MuZim hamuchina maNational events. As long as pa event pacho pachinzi pamberi neZanu Pf it ceases to be a national event. Saka paya pamunoti pamberi neZanu Pf munenge muchida kuti vasiri veZanu Pf watii? The problem is that ED has various titles but we want to shout them at once where there are not relevant. First Secretary of Zanu Pf is suitable at a Zanu Pf Rally, Chancellor is for a graduation ceremony at State Universities, Commander-In-Chief is for army events and President is for other events where the President is doing national duty. Vana Trump have all those titles but havasweri kupedza nguva. A President is a President and its known he has various titles tied to his office.
