The state media reports that some churches have expressed support for the 21st of February to be declared a national holiday in honour of the role played by President Robert Mugabe in liberating the country and safeguarding its independence.
Christian leaders paid a courtesy call on Zanu PF Secretary for Youth Affairs, Pupurai Togarepi where they said the future generations must always be aware of the role played by President Mugabe particularly during times when the odds were heavily stacked against him.
Reverend Sam Malunga of Tehillah Christian Ministries and House of Refuge International Ministries' Apostle Partson Machengete, said they want Zimbabweans to honour President Mugabe by declaring his birthday, the 21st of February, a public holiday.
Togarepi underscored the contribution Mugabe has made to Zimbabwe's liberation and how he still continues to fight for the rights of the downtrodden on the African continent and the globe.
This year's 21st February Movement celebrations are set for the Great Zimbabwe monuments in Masvingo with preparations on course.
