Honourable Cheza reported that he was approached earlier today by senior officers from the Law and Order department in Gweru, along with Central Intelligence Officers from Mvuma. They advised him to cancel the birthday party, citing unspecified concerns. Despite their pressure, Honourable Cheza firmly stated, “I will not be swayed by their requests. The birthday celebration is going ahead as planned.” In support of the event, Advocate Martin Mureri, an award-winning human rights lawyer and member of parliament for Masvingo Urban, spoke to Change Radio, emphasizing the legality of the gathering. “There is no law that forbids Honourable Cheza from hosting a birthday party for the grandmother at his house,” he asserted, reinforcing the notion that community celebrations should be welcomed, not hindered. Gogo Maruwava has been a devoted member of the Roman Catholic Church, and her long life has been filled with love, family, and faith. Her milestone birthday is not only a celebration of her life but also a testament to the strength and resilience of her community. As of now, the Change Radio news crew is on-site at Honourable Cheza’s home, where workers are putting the finishing touches on decorations, setting up tents, and preparing a feast fit for the occasion. The preparations are in full swing, and the sense of community spirit is palpable. The birthday party promises to be a joyous occasion, uniting people in celebration of Gogo Maruwava’s extraordinary life. While challenges may arise, the resolve of Honourable Cheza and his supporters highlights the importance of community and the celebration of cherished traditions.
