‘Unity Day has lost relevance’

Unity Day celebrations have been described as a farce by analysts, who feel the holiday is no longer relevant.

Zimbabwe declared December 22 a national holiday to commemorate the Unity Accord which was entered into in 1987 by two political parties, Zanu PF, then under the leadership of the late former President Robert Mugabe, and PF Zapu which was being led by the late former Vice-President Joshua Nkomo. 

It resulted in the two parties merging to form Zanu PF.
