Bindura — THE National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has given Mashonaland Central Province seven elephants and a buffalo to slaughter for this year's Heroes Day commemorations today.
The organising chairperson Mr Josphat Jaji last week confirmed the donation, saying the beasts were part of their hunting quota.
He said all the animals were from Dande Safaris in Mbire district.
Mr Jaji, who is also the provincial administrator, said all seven administrative districts in the province would benefit from the donation.
"Every district will get an elephant and a buffalo and the meat would be shared among the eight districts," said Mr Jaji.
He said the provincial and Bindura district commemorations would be jointly held at Chipadze Stadium as usual.
Large numbers are expected to attend the provincial ceremony and Mr Jaji encouraged residents to assist each other with transport for the celebrations to be a success.
Mashonaland Central Provincial Governor and Resident Minister Cde Ephraim Masawi is expected to read the President's speech.
