PRESIDENT Mnangagwa yesterday called on Zimbabweans to
embrace each other in love and unity as they celebrate Christmas Day today
while committing that his Government will continue working hard to reform the
country towards economic prosperity.
In his Christmas message, the President said his Government
remains guided by the values of love, care, peace and unity as it champions the
aspirations of the people.
“Fellow Zimbabweans, during this time when we celebrate the
life of Jesus Christ, let us internalise the values he left for us. The values
of loving our neighbours, of protecting and caring for the poor, and of peace
and unity,” said President Mnangagwa.
“Since the beginning of the new dispensation, we have
worked hard daily, guided by these values. Indeed, at all times we must be
guided by Holy Scripture, by a desire and determination for justice, peace and
prosperity for all.
“This Christmas, let us look forward not backward; inwards
not outwards. Let us focus on how best we can look after our families, our
communities and our nation. How we can make Zimbabwe a better place for all.”
President Mnangagwa said he was alive to the challenges
faced by Zimbabweans and reiterated that his Government was making long term
reforms for the benefit of the present and future generations.
“I know that many of you still suffer. I am not blind to
your situation, nor am I deaf to your cries.
I commit to you that we will continue to reform with an eye on the long
term; for we must not reform only for ourselves, but for our children and our
children’s children,” said President Mnangagwa.
“We are undertaking deep, broad, and meaningful reforms.”
The President said his Government had put the economic
fundamentals in place, have a balanced budget while they continue to engage the
world.
“We are continuing to open up the political and media
spaces. We are clamping down on corruption. And we are building a new Zimbabwe
where the people come first.
“Whilst we have much more work to do, my promise to you is
that we will continue to work with modesty and humility, guided by our faith
and scripture, day and night, to build a better future for all,” said President
Mnangagwa.
“I wish you all a peaceful and merry Christmas. God Bless
you all and God Bless the nation of Zimbabwe.” Herald
