Zimbabwe to mark National Culture Month in May

Zimbabwe will observe National Culture Month from 1 to 31 May 2025, following Cabinet approval of this year’s programme under the theme “Celebrating Indigenous Voices.”

The announcement was made by the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Jenfan Muswere. He said the initiative is intended to promote cultural heritage, diversity, and unity. This is reported by New Ziana.

“This initiative is aimed at celebrating our rich cultural heritage, promoting cultural diversity, and fostering national unity,” he stated.

Throughout May, Zimbabwe will observe National Culture Month with a structured weekly programme. The first week will focus on traditional cooking methods and historical recipes. In the second week, Indigenous Fashion Week will highlight traditional clothing from various communities.

The third week will feature the official national launch of the celebration, while the fourth week will centre on Indigenous Languages and Cultural Dialogue, including performances, poetry readings, film screenings, and language workshops.
