State Media|CHILDREN of Zimbabwe Liberation War Veterans Association (CZLWVA) have vowed to rally behind President Emerson Mnangagwa’s vision of creating a middle class income economy by 2030 as the nation celebrates its 40th anniversary today.

In a statement, chairperson of CZLWVA Mr Raymond Chiwara said they were proud to join President Mnangagwa and the entire Zimbabwean nation in celebrating the Independence Day.

“Today marks an incredible milestone in terms of the journey travelled as an Independent Nation of Zimbabwe,” he said.
