Torrential rains have turned the 45th Independence Day celebrations in Gokwe, Zimbabwe, into a muddy disaster. The venue is flooded, with water covering the grounds and electrical cables submerged.

The downpour has caused chaos, with tents shuddering under the rain and floodwaters sweeping away red carpets and plastic chairs. Attendees are struggling to cope with the conditions.

Despite the adverse weather, thousands of Zimbabweans are trudging through the mud and water, determined to celebrate their independence. Families with children are clutching flags, and villagers are forming human chains to help each other through the difficult conditions.

The sudden downpour has sparked speculation about divine intervention, with some linking it to prophecy and divine will. The phrase “Denga RaBvuma” (“The heavens have agreed”) is circulating on social media, leaving many to wonder if this is more than just a weather event.

The celebrations are ongoing, with attendees and officials navigating the challenging conditions. The outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – the people of Gokwe are determined to mark their independence day despite the odds.
