‘Support President Mnangagwa's Vision 2030, NDS2,' says Sekuru Banda

MAGUNJE - Traditional healer and community leader Sekuru Banda has urged Zimbabweans to unite behind President Emmerson Mnangagwa's Vision 2030 and the newly launched National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2), saying the country is on a transformative path.

Addressing crowds in Magunje, Mashonaland West, during a New Year engagement, Banda praised Mnangagwa's leadership and cited improvements in infrastructure, youth empowerment and economic resilience despite the impact of sanctions.

"President Mnangagwa is Godly chosen to lead us at this time," Banda said, calling on citizens to support the administration's long‑term development agenda.

He pointed to major infrastructure projects such as the upgraded Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport and newly constructed roads as evidence of progress under the Second Republic.

Banda also highlighted Zimbabwe's potential to reclaim its status as the "Breadbasket of Africa", noting growth in mining, agriculture and tourism.

"The President has made it clear: Zimbabwe is open for business, and this is a true testament especially now that we have transitioned from National Development Strategy 1 into the second phase, National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2)," he said.

He urged unity and collective effort in supporting the government's development programmes.
