Zimbabwe boosts veterans’ welfare with US$6M empowerment push

ByEnigma 808

Zimbabwe provides monthly pensions to liberation war veterans and covers school fees for 6,395 children through university level, but Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube wants to expand benefits after the government launched empowerment programs worth 6 million dollars on June 6, 2025. The government pays medical benefits to 4,010 veterans, and authorities exhumed 112 fighters from shallow graves for dignified reburial after identifying 357 remains. The Veterans Investments Holding Company received assets from Power Zimbabwe, and management deposited 100,000 dollars from Matetsi Unit 4 Hunting Concession with another 100,000 dollars due by Dec. 31, 2025. Officials distributed 50 heifers to veterans in Matabeleland South, Matabeleland North, and Midlands provinces under the Heifer Pass-On Programme, and the holding company plans to cultivate 100 hectares in the summer season.
