In a notable event that has sparked both support and criticism, the Emmerson Mnangagwa Shokoni Clinic was officially commissioned in Chivi, Masvingo Province. The ceremony was led by the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honorable Ezra Chadzamira, who represented Vice President Kembo Mohadi.

The clinic, constructed by philanthropist Jimayi Muduvuri, aims to provide free medical services to marginalized groups, including people with disabilities, the elderly, and veterans of Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle. While the intention behind the clinic is commendable, the choice to name it after President Emmerson Mnangagwa has raised eyebrows and ignited discussions about the appropriateness of such dedications.

Supporters of the initiative argue that the naming serves to recognize the president’s contributions to the country.
