_Traditional Leaders Meet at Clevers Hotel for HIV, Health & Social Awareness Dialogue_ *Tafara Pande* Masvingo - Today, traditional leaders from across Masvingo gathered at Clevers Hotel for a pivotal meeting focused on strengthening community health and social responses. The key objective was to provide traditional leaders with updates on the ongoing HIV and AIDS response, while also sensitizing them on pressing issues such as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), disaster preparedness, drug and substance abuse, and male engagement. The meeting sought to encourage practical discussions with chiefs on how to tackle these challenges in their communities. A roadmap is being developed to define the role of traditional leaders in promoting health screening, drug abuse prevention, and male involvement in health initiatives. The program is expected to be graced by Hon. Ezra Chadzamira, Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, with the Deputy Director of Infrastructure, Mr. C. Matewe, already in attendance, alongside chiefs from various corners of Masvingo. *Edited by Godfrey Gusha*
