Zimbabweans commemorate their attainment of Independence from the British on 18th April every year since 1980. Celebrations are held nation-wide as Zimbabweans commemorate from village to national levels. These occasions are normally accompanied by musical galas where a number of musicians converge to entertain the nation. On Heroes’ Day, Zimbabweans commemorate the commitment of
their sons and daughters in the struggle for Independence. Thousands of Zimbabweans perished in the liberation war. On Defence Forces Day, Zimbabweans
and the uniformed forces, the army, police and prison services celebrate their dedication to protecting national sovereignty, upholding justice and maintaining law and order. National Unity Day is a commemoration of nation building in post-independent Zimbabwe.
