The Bulawayo Metropolitan Province has thanked the First Lady of Zimbabwe, Dr. Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa, for donating seed to vulnerable communities in the City.
Describing the gesture as one that
“brings not only nourishment to households but also hope, dignity, and reassurance.”
In a speech delivered on behalf of the Minister of Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Judith Ncube, the Secretary for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Mr. Paul Nyoni, emphasized that the seed distribution was more than an act of charity—it was
“an act of justice and solidarity.”
The event, held at Mhlahlandlela, aimed to support the destitute, elderly, persons with disabilities, child-headed families, and others struggling to make ends meet.
“By supporting vulnerable households, the First Lady has enabled children to attend school with dignity, the elderly to live with peace of mind, and families to redirect limited resources to other essential needs such as healthcare and education,” read the speech.
It further commended the First Lady for placing
“the welfare of vulnerable groups at the center of national development” and for consistently demonstrating “compassion, leadership, and commitment to social inclusion.”
The province also expressed gratitude for the First Lady’s promise to join the community for the harvest, urging beneficiaries to use the seed productively and uphold the spirit of nation-building encapsulated in the mantra:
“Ilizwe lakhwa ngabanikazi balo, Myika inovakwa nevene vayo” a nation is built by its owners.
In closing, the speech reaffirmed that the government and its leaders “stand with you, now and always,” and thanked the First Lady for her “noble gesture,” which strengthens the social fabric and promotes resilience at the household level.
