President Mnangagwa says the First Lady deserves to be honoured for conceiving the national dress. He described her as a champion and ambassador of the country’s rich culture and traditions.
“Sometimes when we are seated in Cabinet, we say, as the
people of Zimbabwe, we must never forget our roots; we must not forget our
culture. I didn’t even know what the Gota/Nhanga/Ixhiba programme was, but now
I know what it is.
“There were girls who were dancing here while putting on
the national dress . . . now, if you go to Ghana, they have their own national
dress. In Eswatini, they also have theirs such that whenever you see them even
at the United Nations, you can easily identify that this person is from Ghana
or Eswatini. Here in Zimbabwe, we are now also going to be identified by our
own national dress, and this national dress is a result of the First Lady’s
vision,” he was quoted by the Sunday Mail as saying.
