Munhumutapa Day Honours Zim’s Founding Leaders: A Monumental Tribute to the Forefathers
President Mnangagwa Hosts Cabinet at Pricabe Farm as the Nation Marks the Inaugural September 15 Public Holiday
THE BIG STORY: Zimbabwe is officially honouring the relentless dedication, perseverance, and monumental sacrifices of its founding fathers by establishing September 15 as Munhumutapa Day. The brand-new public holiday was gazetted last week under Statutory Instrument 148 of 2026 through the Public Holidays and Prohibition of Business Act.
Speaking at a high-profile gathering at Pricabe Farm yesterday, where President Mnangagwa hosted traditional leaders and Cabinet ministers, the Minister of Agriculture, Mechanisation and Water Resources Development, Dr. Anxious Masuka, emphasized that the holiday serves as a profound tribute to the visionaries who built the nation.

Coinciding With the President's Birthday
Dr. Masuka noted a highly befitting coincidence: the recognition of the nation's forebears falls precisely on President Mnangagwa’s birthday. "We declared Munhumutapa Day because that is the inspiration of this country," he explained.
Following Ancestral Footsteps
The establishment of this public holiday draws a direct line between the ingenuity of Zimbabwe's ancestors and the modern leadership shaping the nation today, honouring those who continue to build and protect the country.

“As a country, we have risen to the occasion to recognise our forebears... Great Zimbabwe, built without mortar or steel, still stands today. That ingenuity, that perspicacity, that perseverance is what is being recognised through Munhumutapa Day on September 15.”
“And we draw inspiration from this leader, who is following in the footsteps of our ancestors. So, what better coincidence than to declare that day on his birthday?”

Pricabe Farm: A Model of Success
At the heart of the celebrations was the undeniable success of Pricabe Farm, driven by visionary leadership and cutting-edge technology.
The Secret to Consistency
Pricabe Farm manager Mr. Patrick Mnangagwa revealed that the trick to their massive yields is the constructive pressure from the President’s weekly Sunday visits. Operating on 405 hectares, the highly mechanized farm employs 50 permanent and 200 seasonal workers.
AI-Enabled Silos & Value Addition
The farm has heavily benefited from the Government's new artificial intelligence-enabled silos in Kwekwe. Previously transporting grain all the way to Chegutu, the local silos have dramatically reduced turnaround times, ensuring crops like winter wheat are planted promptly while maximizing value addition.
A Monument to Dedication
The establishment of Munhumutapa Day is a powerful reinforcement of Zimbabwe's deep-rooted respect for its heritage and the architectural ingenuity of its ancestors. Gathering at Pricabe Farm perfectly symbolized this ethos—where ancestral perseverance is mirrored by modern agricultural hard work, resulting in tangible success.
From the 405 highly mechanized hectares of maize, wheat, and barley, to the utilization of state-of-the-art AI-enabled silos in Kwekwe, the celebrations vividly showcased what consistent dedication can yield. The new public holiday ultimately invites all Zimbabweans to draw inspiration from the past while actively building a prosperous future.
