As Zambia celebrates its 60th Independence Anniversary on 24th October 2024, staff members at the Ministry of Labour and Social Security are marking this milestone in a unique and meaningful way. In line with the celebration’s theme, “60 Years Strong; Honouring Our Heritage, Embracing the Future,” the staff have committed to wearing traditional outfits every week and participating in the “Keep Zambia Clean, Green, and Healthy” campaign as part of the commemorations for Zambia @ 60.
The initiative not only reflects the pride in Zambia’s rich cultural heritage but also supports the Government’s efforts to promote cleanliness and environmental sustainability across the country. By donning traditional attire, Ministry employees are showcasing Zambia’s diverse cultural identity, from the vibrant chitenge fabrics to other iconic garments that represent various regions and ethnic groups. This act of cultural expression serves as a reminder of the nation’s unity in diversity and its journey towards development over the past 60 years.
As Zambia @ 60 celebrations continue the Ministry of Labour and Social Security’s weekly activities serve as a vibrant reminder of the country’s cultural richness and the collective responsibility to improve our country, embodying the true spirit of independence.
