Minister Praised for Sweet Birthday Message to Fadzayi Mahere

Zanu-PF politician and ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera surprised many on Wednesday, 30 July 2025, when she posted a public birthday message to opposition figure and lawyer Fadzayi Mahere.

Mahere, who turned 40 on Wednesday, 30 July 2025, received well-wishes from fans and public figures alike, but it was Mavetera’s heartfelt message that caught people’s attention. The minister put aside political differences to acknowledge Mahere’s contribution to national dialogue and digital civic engagement.

Tatenda Mavetera Pens Heartfelt Birthday Message to Fadzayi Mahere

In her post on X (formerly Twitter), Mavetera praised Mahere for being a passionate advocate for accountability, even though the two women operate from opposite sides of the political spectrum. She also applauded Mahere’s commitment to digital platforms, calling it a shared vision for a more connected Zimbabwe.

Mavetera wrote:

“On this special day, I join you @advocatemahere in celebrating your life and legacy. Happy Birthday, my sister.

As you mark your 40th birthday today (30 July 2025), your journey stands as that of a courageous advocate for accountability, even though we may not always agree a lot of times.

We both serve in different political spaces, but your passion for community engagement resonates strongly across divides. Your recent reflections on life’s “uncountable riches that aren’t money” remind us all of what truly matters.

As Minister of ICT, I particularly thank you for your visible use of digital platforms for civic engagement – a shared vision for a connected, empowered Zimbabwe.

Pamberi neZimbabwe.”

Her gesture was met with mixed reactions online. While some praised Mavetera for showing political maturity and encouraging tolerance, others weren’t convinced. A few accused her of performative politics, questioning whether the message was sincere or just for show.

Here are some of the comments:

@MM_Zim:

Commendable, very mature. Ndo tolerance yatiri kuda kuona munyika medu, at the end of the day tese tiri vanhu.

@OkaPhusisa:

This is the tolerance we want to see in Zim and in general most people would agree that you are a decent person

@Plutinum_Gold:

If this were real, we would be way better. But alas, screen-saving propaganda whose reality is a different story on the ground. May God save us.

@0__waya__0:

Although this is aura farming, I have to admit, it’s a beautiful message. ChatGPT is like “make up” to our abilities and intentions. But one thing, the fact that you prompted that, you know what right, and that’s what’s important, I guess hahaha.

@Herod2166:

Amana people say “that’s leadership” over a birthday message. Is the bar so low that Mavetera now has leadership qualities over a birthday wish… Haa Mazimbabweans Muri mboko chaiko
