President Mnangagwa Hands Over Tractors and Mowers to Air Force of Zimbabwe for Runway Maintenance
The President of the Republic of Zimbabwe and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, this afternoon handed over tractors and mowers to the Air Force of Zimbabwe during a brief ceremony held at State House in Harare.
The equipment is intended to enhance ground maintenance efforts, particularly in mowing grass along the runways at various airbases.
Speaking at the event, Commander of the Air Force of Zimbabwe, Air Marshal Jacob John Nzvede, said the machinery would significantly improve safety and operational efficiency in aviation environments.
“We are going to use the tractors in mowing grass along the runways. As you are aware, in the runway, there will be grass — something that disturbs aviation,” said Air Marshal Nzvede.
The presence of overgrown grass on runways can obstruct visibility, attract birds and other wildlife, and generally compromise airfield safety — issues the new equipment is expected to help resolve.
The donation is in line with ongoing efforts by the Government of Zimbabwe to modernise and strengthen the country’s defence forces, ensuring operational readiness and improved infrastructure.
Today’s handover reaffirms the Second Republic’s commitment to equipping the security sector with tools necessary to maintain both national security and operational standards.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has arrived in Chimoio, Mozambique, for the handover of a consignment of relief items to communities affected by Cyclone Chido.
The donation, sent under the name “ZimAid”, will be handed over to his counterpart, Mozambican President Daniel Chapo.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces and Chancellor of the Zimbabwe National Defence University (ZNDU), President Emmerson Mnangagwa, is presiding over the institution’s sixth graduation ceremony at Rodgers Alfred Nikita Mangena Barracks in Mazowe.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to officially unveil the Tourism and Hospitality Industry Policy (2025–2030) in Harare this Monday.
The five-year blueprint is part of the government’s broader plan to boost economic growth, positioning tourism as a critical driver in achieving the vision of an upper-middle-income economy by 2030, as outlined in the National Development Strategy.
The launch is expected to draw key players from the tourism sector, including representatives from the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA), the Zimbabwe Council for Tourism, safari operators, and other industry stakeholders.
The policy aims to serve as a strategic framework for developing a sustainable tourism sector. It outlines plans to improve the overall visitor experience while promoting infrastructure upgrades, effective marketing, environmental stewardship, and greater community participation in tourism-related activities.
Among its main goals are fostering inclusive growth, generating employment, and boosting foreign currency earnings through increased tourism revenue.
