President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to headline Zimbabwe's 2025 SADC Anti-Sanctions Day commemorations on October 25, delivering a national address highlighting the country's resilience and progress despite ongoing Western-imposed measures.
Announcing the plans at yesterday's post-Cabinet briefing, Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Dr Jenfan Muswere, said the theme for this year's commemorations is: "Inclusive Development through Heritage-Based Innovation and Industrialisation in a Multilateral World."
"The objectives of the Anti-Sanctions Day are to call for the unconditional removal of all unjustified and illegal sanctions; to raise awareness of their negative impact; and to celebrate the resilience of Zimbabweans under the visionary leadership of President Mnangagwa," Dr Muswere said.
The celebrations will feature a series of nationwide activities, including an Anti-Sanctions solidarity event and gala at the Heritage Village, showcasing top local artists. Zimbabwean embassies abroad will also engage host governments and international partners in solidarity initiatives.
This year, the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development will release a documentary highlighting the achievements of Zimbabwe's SMEs sector, a key driver of inclusive economic growth. The Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development, through the University of Zimbabwe, will host public lectures and student-led panel discussions to promote awareness and dialogue among youth.
SADC Anti-Sanctions Day was established in August 2019 following the 39th SADC Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and is observed annually on October 25. It serves as a demonstration of regional unity and solidarity with Zimbabwe against sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union, and their allies in the early 2000s.
SADC leaders have consistently maintained that the sanctions are illegal, unjust, and harmful to both Zimbabwe's socio-economic development and regional integration. The annual commemorations provide a platform to amplify calls for their removal while highlighting Zimbabwe's governance reforms, economic achievements, and international engagement.
This year's observance coincides with Zimbabwe's continued rollout of the Heritage-Based Education 5.0 model, which seeks to promote innovation and industrialisation rooted in local knowledge systems—a focus reflected in the 2025 theme.
