Award-winning actor Zenzo Nyathi, known for his role in ZBC TV’s series *Amakorokoza*, says Zimbabwe should observe a King Mzilikazi Day. He makes the request on social media, framing it as comparable recognition to an existing state-sponsored commemoration.
Nyathi’s call follows President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s decision to designate September 15 as a public holiday, to be celebrated as Munhumutapa Day. While both outlets report Nyathi’s request and its connection to the new holiday, they do not provide further details about any specific date, official proposal, or government response.
Across the two reports provided, the core point is consistent: Nyathi publicly urges that King Mzilikazi be similarly honored with a dedicated day, referencing the broader context of national holidays tied to historical figures.
