Zimbabwe marked its 43rd independence anniversary Tuesday with President Emmerson Mnangagwa saluting liberation and post-independence efforts as the country forges ahead to become a middle-income economy by 2030.

In his speech at the main celebrations in Mount Darwin, about 156 km north of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa said this year’s independence celebrations were more special as they came against the background of food security and food sovereignty.
