Zimbabwe students in Turkey to host Uhuru celebrations

The Zimbabwe Students Association in Turkey (ZIMSAT) will today host an Uhuru party to celebrate Zimbabwe's 37th birthday in the Turkey capital, Ankara.

"ZIMSAT has organised this event to celebrate Zimbabwe's hard-won independence. The event will be held in the capital of Turkey, Ankara," said Tafadzwa Joseph Dube who is ZIMSAT's public relations officer.

"Invited are fellow students, Zimbabweans in Turkey, our friends from Africa, and the rest of the world. ZIMSAT took it upon itself to organise such an event since at the moment Zimbabwe does not have an embassy in Turkey... As much as we face challenges as a country, our independence still remains an important occasion in our history which we honour whilst at the same time working for a better future for all," read part of their official invite to Bulawayo24.com

Mr Cyril Kombedzayi from Bulawayo, who is on a brief vacation in Turkey, said that he will also attend the event as he winds up his holiday.

Those who would like to attend the event can contact ZIMSAT President, Timothy on + 9054353011280  or the Vice President on +905512436621.
