THE John Landa Nkomo Memorial Trust on Monday and Tuesday joined His Excellency the President, Dr Emerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, the ruling Party Zanu PF, the War Veterans Association and nation at large in solemnly and proudly commemorating Heroes Day and Defence Forces Day respectively.
This Heroes commemorations always provides an important opportunity to reflect on the immense sacrifices of our liberation heroes and celebrate the ongoing dedication of our Defence Forces, all under the guiding principle of national development and progress and Vision 2030.
This year’s Defence Forces Day theme, “Zimbabwe Defence Forces: Guaranteeing Peace and Stability for the Attainment of Vision 2030,” resonates deeply with the core values and legacy of the late Vice President John Landa Nkomo.
As a revered National Hero, a dedicated nation-builder, and a champion of peace, Dr. Nkomo’s life embodied the very essence of this theme.
His popular mantra, “Peace begins with me. Peace begins with you. Peace begins with all of us,” remains a timeless call to action for every Zimbabwean.
The John Landa Nkomo Memorial Trust, in its work to perpetuate Dr. Nkomo’s legacy, understands that a stable and peaceful environment is the bedrock of development.
His vision for a prosperous Zimbabwe, where citizens are empowered to contribute to the nation’s growth, can only be realised in a climate of peace and unity.
The Trust’s ongoing projects in education, health, and community empowerment are a testament to this belief, as we strive to build on the foundation laid by our heroes.
