THE Second Republic is committed to the restoration of the dignity and well-being of retired citizens who, in the past, contributed immensely to the country’s development, President Mnangagwa said yesterday. Addressing delegates to the 2025 Public Service Retirement Conference in Bulawayo, President Mnangagwa, in a speech read on his behalf by Vice President Kembo Mohadi, paid tribute to the valuable contributions of retired civil servants and noted the determination of those in service towards driving national development despite challenges. He commended the theme of the conference: “Retirement planning in action: Transforming insights into realities”, saying it resonated deeply with the Government’s collective vision and mainstreaming of strategic retirement planning as one of the key pillars towards attainment of an inclusive Vision 2030.
“Retirement planning is not a peripheral issue; it’s the heartbeat of Vision 2030.
