CONGRATULATORY
MESSAGE
BY HIS
EXCELLENCY THE
PRESIDENT, DR E.D.
MNANGAGWA, FOLLOWING MINISTER KIRSTY COVENTRY'S HISTORIC ELECTION TO THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE PRESIDENCY.

Thursday 20th March, 2025, will remain etched in the annals of history, both in Zimbabwe and across the entire world, as one of our own, Minister of Sport, Arts and Recreation, Honourable Kirsty Coventry, was elected the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, garnering 49 votes out of a possible 97.

This incredible win comes iced with the shattering of three records, all broken at the same time. Kirsty Coventry made Africa proud by becoming the first African person to hold the position in the 131-year history of the Sports body. In addition, she becomes the first woman and the youngest person to achieve this feat!

For Zimbabwe, this achievement, huge and historic as it is, comes as no surprise. We have witnessed your meteoric rise in the world of sport from being a multiple Olympic champion to a leader.

Your approach to sport, has always been marked by intense passion, focus and fierce determination, singling you out as a go-getter who accepts no defeat. Today, with the flag of Zimbabwe flying high up, I am proud to give you well deserved congratulations.
You have lifted your country high. In centuries to come, whenever the history of the IOC is spoken about or written down, Zimbabwe will be mentioned as having produced the first woman President; the first African President and the youngest President.
Even as you tackle the huge challenges that lie ahead in the new job, I am very confident that you will, undoubtedly, hold your own. You will be no push over and you will do justice to the task that awaits.
I wish you all the best, and success in your tenure as the International Olympic Committee President.
Nhasi ndezveduwo! Zimbabwe is proud of you. Well done Kirsty Coventry!
Congratulations on your incredible success!

E.D. MNANGAGWA
PRESIDENT

-It gives me great pleasure to officiate at the Youth Empowerment Forum and commemorations of the Africa Youth Day. I am happy that you have turned out in such huge numbers.
-The Africa Youth day is celebrated throughout the continent of Africa on 1 November each year.
-This occasion is dedicated to acknowledging the vibrant energy, creativity and limitless potential of youth in Zimbabwe, Africa and the continent.
-The decision to celebrate youth day here at Magamba is significant and we must applaud and be happy.
As the name implies, Magamba, means girls and boys dedicated to work and make sacrifices for their country. The choice of venue is in line with devolution and decentralization of events.
-We are oncourse im achieving #Vision2030.
-We will continue to invest in vocational training centres and ensure that these are accessible, inclusive and inline with today's generation.
-we are pleased that our youth can match with any youth across the continent, and moreso, excell as the best.
-I commend the empowerment forums as they nurture the youth to be patriotic about their country, hardworking and disciplined. To our youth, congratulations.
-Our young people deserve positions at the seat of governance and economy. You are dependable development partners as we march towards realisation of #Vision2030.
-I am going to create positions for you so that you learn and embrace knowledge from your elders as you grow up.
-It is the duty of the whole society to ensure that our young people reach their full potential. They need our support.
-I say to our youth and their leadership, your focus and dedication is commendable.
-I was impressed to note that VTCs are now producing crops for both local and export markets.
-Our young entrepreneurs should intentionally acquire requisite business knowledge to access broader markets. I challenge our youth to develop cross-border networks and create enterprises that contribute to the economic development of our nation and the African continent at large.
-My Minister of Youth is directed to accelerate the pace of capacitating vocational centres nationwide.
-District youth business centres are being established to promote entrepreneurship among young people. Our private sector, including large corporates should play their part towards developing synergies for youth development and empowerment.
-We must continue to fight against Drug and Substance Abuse for the benefit of our children. I challenge you young people to lead this fight from your schools. I encourage you to shun vices such as corruption which undermine the values of hardwork and integrity. Quick money goes away quickly.
-Thank you for coming out in your numbers. Let us all work together for the growth and development of our country, in peace and unity. The Province has done well in mobilising, I hope other provinces emulate.
-The peace you are showcasing is a testament that you are a disciplined and focused community.
