Harare, (New Ziana) — Public Service Commission (PSC) Chairman Dr. Vincent Hungwe has paid tribute to Zimbabwe’s workforce, describing workers them as the foundation and mosaic of the economy and society.
In his statement to mark Worker’s Day on Thursday, Dr. Hungwe applauded the dedication, resilience, and patriotism of workers across the country, particularly within the public service, acknowledging their vital role in driving the nation’s development agenda.
“Today, we celebrate not just labour for its own sake, but also the virtues of decent work, patriotic servitude and servant leadership,” he said.
He added that these values are being actively fostered under the stewardship of the Second Republic, which is championing a transformed work culture aligned with Zimbabwe’s development imperatives.
Dr. Hungwe highlighted the critical contributions of workers across all sectors—from healthcare and education to agriculture, mining, and technology—stating that their efforts “propel our country forward and offer hope for the future.”
He reaffirmed the PSC’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with public servants and their unions, saying: “This Workers’ Day, the PSC recommits itself to fostering closer and collaborative industrial relations, devolved human capital development, and strengthened social dialogue between Government and all its labour stakeholders.”
The PSC Chair also commended public servants’ collective efforts toward national progress, noting that these have been “exemplified and bolstered by His Excellency President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s illustrative stance of spurring us forward towards the accelerated attainment of Vision 2030.”
Dr. Hungwe saluted workers from all corners of the country—urban and rural, in offices, factories, and fields—saying their service is both symbolic and inspirational.
“Your labour powers our progress, while your service inspires the nation as a whole. Far may your efforts go, and long may you stand, and tall may you rise as workers of this our great nation,” he said.
