“I dedicate this honor to every child in Shamva, every hustler in Kuwadzana, and every dreamer across Africa who refuses to give up,” he said.
Kachirekwa extended gratitude to the National Hall of Fame Committee for the recognition and the opportunity to speak at the event. He also thanked President Emmerson Mnangagwa for championing Vision 2030, First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa for her community work, and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga for his role in national transformation.
