Harare- The two pictures were taken by the Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s wife Minnie Baloyi.

The pictures reflected the smiles and pride of being Zimbabweans bearing the gritty souvenir from the long journey.

They had travelled for thirteen hours, a constellation of Zimbabwean souls strewn across airplane seats, flying over continents and oceans to a land of golden temples and a language that danced with unfamiliar tones.

They had left jobs, families, and the familiar soil of home, all for this: to stand in a hall in Thailand, their voices hoarse, their hearts full, their eyes fixed on one of their own.

The text message had been simple: “Lyshanda needs us. Mwana wevhu is far from home.” Mwana wevhu – a child of the soil. It was more than a phrase; it was a bond, a covenant of shared origin that stretched across the globe. And so they came. Accountants, teachers, farmers, and artists, they pooled their resources, their courage, and their hope.

Now, packed together, a sea of vibrant prints and hopeful faces, they were a living tapestry of home. The air thrummed with a shared energy, a silent, palpable force of unity. It was love, yes, but it was also pride—a fierce, unyielding pride that refused to let one of their own stand alone in a distant land.

These are some of the Zimbabweans who travelled 13 hours across the world 🇹🇭 just to stand by Lyshanda Moyas mwana wevhu, our own. This picture is more than a photo… it’s a reminder of what unity, love, and pride look like when a nation shows up for its own.

God bless every single soul in this image.
Their sacrifice, their presence, their support it all speaks louder than words ever could.

And would you believe it… this beautiful moment, this memory captured forever, was taken by none other than Vice President’s wife.
