"Let's rise above political affiliations and prioritise the needs of our people. We owe it to them to work together and build a brighter future," he said.

"Zimbabweans have demonstrated resilience time and again. If we harness that collective strength and work together, we can overcome challenges and build a stronger Zimbabwe," he said.
Highlighting the urgent need for collaboration, he added, "The challenges facing our country are not insurmountable, but they require a united front. It's time for us to pool our expertise and resources for the greater good.
