The event is scheduled to take place on April 18 in the Mutora area, just outside Nembudziya Growth Point in Gokwe North.
This year’s celebrations are particularly special as they align with the Government’s decentralisation drive.
The fete will be running under the theme “Zim@45: Devolve and Develop Together Towards Vision 2030”.
The event is expected to bring together about 100 000 people from the country’s 10 provinces to commemorate the nation’s journey and achievements.

The independence gala is set for the evening of April 17 at Nembudziya Government High School.
There will also be the lighting of the Independence Flame, a traditional ceremony that marks the beginning of the celebrations.
Simba Bhora and FC Platinum will face off during the main celebrations, while Herentals Queens and Black Rhinos will play at the Children’s Party.
With just two weeks left before the big day, the community is racing against time to complete the necessary preparations.
As Midlands province plays host to this year’s Independence Day celebrations, the Government has seen it fit to declare the Mtapa Hall, Whawha, Connemara and Sikombela detention centres national historical monuments due to their significance towards the attainment of the country’s independence.
