Today, HIT staff members took part in CLEAN-UP EXERCISE that took place from 800hrs to 1000hrs on campus.
The exercise involves cleaning the university environs as part of broader efforts to promote a clean, safe and healthy environment in the spirit of the Declaration by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa.
On December 5 last year, President Mnangagwa declared the first Friday of every month a National Clean-up Day, and all citizens are expected to clean their surroundings between 8am and 10am. He has been leading by example since then, and today, he lead the clean-up at Lake Chivero, an event that is being marked concurrently in other areas across the country by Government departments, corporates, civic authorities and individuals.
Today’s clean-up coincides with the commemoration of Africa Environment Day, Wangari Maathai Day and World Wildlife Day, all of which are presided over by the President.
The clean-up initiative is aimed at creating a clean and healthier environment to fight diseases like cholera and typhoid.
