All set for Ngezi Ward 11 Women’s Day commemorations

It will be pomp and funfair on Saturday, 27 June 2026, as women in the Turf area of Ngezi Ward 11 gather for Women’s Day commemorations spearheaded by the area councillor, Kurebwa Javangwe Nhomboka.


Nhomboka said the day — which will also feature various sporting activities — is an important occasion that recognises the essential roles played by women in society, particularly in labour and community development.

“It will be an important and special day for women as we commemorate their day at Turf Council Ground,” said Nhomboka.

“We are going to have various sporting events such as netball and soccer, among other disciplines. Winners will receive tokens of appreciation, and there will be food and drinks in abundance. I am calling on all women in the Turf community to come in their hundreds and support this important function,” he said.

Nhomboka added that women remain central to community and economic progress, especially in mining areas such as Ngezi.

“Women are a vital cog in community and societal development. They are a special entity as they motivate and support their male spouses in labour spaces, particularly in mining communities such as Ngezi. I have decided to hold this important event to show my solidarity with their well‑being and their contribution to the country’s economic development,” he said.

The commemorations form part of ongoing community‑building initiatives in the district, with organisers saying the event will also promote social cohesion and wellness through sport and cultural activities linked to Women’s Day Zimbabwe.
