Emmerson Mnangagwa|I would like to wish all Zimbabweans at home and abroad an Easter filled with blessings, peace, love and the hope of a brighter tomorrow.

I know that in the past, Easter would see families, friends and worshippers gather together to remember the gift of eternal life. Sadly, this is not possible this year as we continue to observe the essential lockdown we instituted to prevent the spread of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.

I urge us all to continue to stay at home, practice good hygiene and observe social distancing.

May Easter also remind us that seemingly irresolvable human problems are not eternal. There is hope. This situation will not last forever. Things will go back to normal; but in the meantime, we must be patient and responsible.

We pay tribute to the men and women constituting the essential services and who are keeping our country functional during this lockdown period, and to all those who are giving generously towards our fight against COVID-19. Together we are stronger. With discipline and unity, we will prevail.

I once again wish you all a peaceful, blessed, safe and happy Easter Holiday.

May god bless you all.
