For some families, the journey to the Angel of Hope Drug Rehabilitation Centre in Mbare has carried years of pain, broken relationships and shattered dreams, but also a renewed belief that their loved ones could reclaim their lives.

Bearing the scars of unimaginable experiences caused by drug and substance abuse, families arrived at the centre with stories of violence, loss, desperation and hope as the ninth intake of beneficiaries began its recovery journey under the life-changing programme spearheaded by First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa.

The atmosphere reflected the difficult road many families had travelled, a poignant mixture of heartbreak and hope.

Families recounted how addiction had torn their homes apart, with loved ones abandoning school, losing jobs, stealing household property and drifting away from those who cared for them most.

Some spoke of violent outbursts, hallucinations and sleepless nights spent searching for answers, while others remained silent, clinging to the hope that this time rehabilitation would succeed.

Many of those admitted bore visible signs of prolonged substance abuse, arriving in tattered, soiled clothing, with unkempt hair and frail bodies reflecting years of neglect and suffering.

Mkoba Teachers’ College was yesterday turned into a sea of colour, as scores of women from across Midlands Province thronged the tertiary institution donning colourful doeks blending with zambias, as Angel of Hope Foundation patron First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa continued her nationwide campaign to restore pride in Zimbabwean values.

Even some men who attended the event could not be outdone as they supported the women by donning traditional African attire.

The Midlands programme brought together women across communities, professions and age groups, creating a lively platform for mothers, grandmothers and young women to celebrate their shared heritage while learning from one another.

The colourful event was full of energy and vibrancy as women broke into songs, dances and ululations while exchanging traditional knowledge and demonstrating elegant doek-tying techniques, reminding one another of the African heritage embedded in decent dressing and self-respect.

The simple act of tying a doek became a powerful celebration of faith, culture and womanhood yesterday as women from diverse Christian denominations gathered under one roof, singing, dancing joyfully and sharing generations of wisdom, while embracing First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa’s flagship Doek Drive initiative.

What began as a cultural programme blossomed into a lively and heart-warming celebration of sisterhood in Harare Province, with women of all ages enthusiastically demonstrating different doek-tying styles, exchanging ideas and identifying those that best reflected Zimbabwe’s cultural identity.

This culminated in the selection of six possible national doek styles, which were showcased by Mrs Rutendo Sibanda, Mrs Rose Pahwaringirira, Mrs Ingidzai Nyahando, Mrs Jane Hlupo, Mrs Erita Caroline Banda and Mrs Tendai Chipo Mudzamiri.

The various doek styles suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions were agreed upon, with designs best suited for family gatherings, church services, weddings, funerals and other social events.

Others stood out as versatile enough to be worn with dignity, respect and elegance in virtually any setting, reflecting the doek’s timeless place in Zimbabwean culture.

Cheerful women showcased each wrapping style, explaining its cultural significance and how it reflects a woman’s age, marital status, responsibilities and the occasion for which it is worn.
