Liberation war fighters have placed their hopes on Monica Mavhunga, the newly-appointed Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs minister, expecting her to address their grievances. Mavhunga's appointment follows the dismissal of Christopher Mutsvangwa. Edward Dube, secretary-general of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association ZNLWVA, stated that the association looks forward to constructive dialogue and partnership with the minister to implement programs supporting the welfare and advancement of veterans. Dube highlighted Mavhunga's previous experience as an executive member of the association, which he believes provides her with a deep understanding of the economic and social challenges faced by war veterans. The ZNLWVA is committed to collaborating with Mavhunga to achieve objectives related to socio-economic empowerment, healthcare, housing, and educational opportunities. This comes as war veterans have expressed dissatisfaction over the government's failure to pay tuition fees for their children for the past year.
