As part of a Christmas gift campaign, Zimbabwe President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa gave 54 bicycles to village heads on Tuesday at Lundi Primary School in Zvishavane.

Mnangagwa indicated that the donation was intended to help local mobility through the Zimbabwean Ministry of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting.
