President Mnangagwa handed over five vehicles and 50 wheelchairs to youth disability ambassadors.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, President Mnangagwa said his administration would continue prioritising inclusion.
“Government remains committed to supporting vulnerable citizens in every province. I also call upon any other citizens with disabilities to come forward so that Government can assist them. We must ensure that no one is left behind,”he said
The recipients musicians Talent Chipo Muchengwa and Tongai Gwaze, beauty therapist Sifiso Mitchell Sibanda, disability advocate Tendai Mazuru and former Child President Hazel Mandaza each received a vehicle and ten wheelchairs to distribute in their communities.
The ambassadors welcomed the gesture, describing it as a major boost to their work. Musician Talent Chipo Muchengwa said mobility constraints had long limited her outreach.
“This vehicle changes everything. I can now reach remote areas where many young people with disabilities feel forgotten. I am grateful to the President for empowering us to serve better,” she said.
Fellow musician Tongai Gwaze said the wheelchairs would have immediate impact.
“Some of the youths in my community have been waiting for years for assistive devices. These ten wheelchairs will restore independence for many of them. This is practical empowerment,” he said.
Beauty therapist Sifiso Mitchell Sibanda said the support reaffirmed Government’s recognition of young people with disabilities.
“This handover is a strong message that disability does not mean invisibility. With this vehicle I will be able to expand my work and train more youths,” she said.
Disability advocate Tendai Mazuru said the team was committed to ensuring the wheelchairs reach the most vulnerable.
“We pledge to use these vehicles to visit underserved communities and deliver the wheelchairs directly to those most in need. This intervention will change lives,” she said.
Former Child President Hazel Mandaza said the initiative would inspire confidence within the disabled community.
“Young people living with disabilities want opportunities, not sympathy. Today’s gesture shows that leadership is listening,” she said.
Citizens who attended the event praised the move. Harare youth representative Brian Chamatonzi said the handover demonstrated meaningful inclusion.
“This is what empowerment looks like real tools, real support and real impact,” he said.
Wheelchair distributions are expected to begin immediately as the ambassadors roll out their outreach programmes across the country.
