THE Joshua Nkomo Cultural Movement has started a campaign to teach rural communities on the late Father Zimbabwe’s values on unity and tolerance that will see the launch of the Dr Nkomo Youth Movement.

The campaign as well as the youth movement will be launched in Tsholotsho tomorrow.

The late VP died on July 1, 1999 and has been celebrated for forging the 1987 Unity Accord with President Mugabe that ended disturbances in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces.

JNCM chairperson Mr Mehluli Moyo said the association would be at Tsholotsho Centre tomorrow to interact with members of the public on the late VP’s legacy.

Mr Moyo said top among the issues to be discussed is tolerance and unity.

He said the movement has realised that rural communities are always left behind during the annual commemoration held in Bulawayo to celebrate the late nationalist’s life.

Mr Moyo said tomorrow’s programme would be the first to be conducted in rural areas and they are hoping to spread it to other districts.
