ZIMBABWE successfully held the 11th edition of the National Disability Expo in Gwanda, Matabeleland South with President Mnangagwa urging society to give respect to persons with disability as their rights continued to be violated.
The three-day disability expo which started on Wednesday came to an end yesterday.
All persons with disability who attended the expo received inputs from President Mnangagwa. He also handed over six residential stands, an A1 and A2 farm.
The disability expo was held under the theme “Holistic Empowerment of Youth and Children with Disabilities towards the attainment of Vision 2030.
A better and brighter future for everyone.”
More than 100 participants which include organisations of people with disabilities (PWDs), affiliates and associates of organisations of PWDs, Government ministries and other stakeholders exhibited at the expo. The expo’s key focus is to enable those living with disabilities to be aware of existing technologies, equipment, aids, services and products that can allow them to live a fuller life.
