Consul-General Challenges Zimbabweans To Keep The Good Image Of Zimbabwe Intact

As a Consulate, we are always available and ready to provide consular services to all Zimbabwean nationals resident in South Africa By Melody Chaurura Allow me to start by expressing my sincere appreciation for the invitation to participate at this very important event. I feel greatly honoured and fortunate to represent His Excellency, Ambassador David Hamadziripi, who unfortunately could not be available to address the gathering today due to competing schedules. He sends his greetings and well wishes. Before I go any further, let me seize this opportunity to acknowledge the good work that is being done by Vessels of Virtue towards transforming and empowering marginalised women, children and the blind through various short term training programs in areas such as Office Administration, Craft/Beading, Entrepreneurship, bee keeping and beauty therapy among other courses. There is no doubt that such initiatives significantly contribute towards the achievement of the desired social and economic targets. It should be appreciated that the economic empowerment of women is an aim in itself and a game-changer for development.
