Beitbridge is set to host Zimbabwe's national commemorations for World Literacy Day, according to Herald.co.zw. The outlet reported the location on Wednesday, 23 September 2026.
The report identifies Beitbridge as the venue for the national event but does not give further details on the programme, attendees or the date of the commemorations themselves.
World Literacy Day is marked internationally to highlight the importance of literacy and the challenges that remain for people who cannot read or write. National commemorations give countries a focal point for drawing attention to literacy work and the organisations and communities involved in it.
According to Herald.co.zw, the Beitbridge event carries national status, placing the border town at the centre of this year's marking in Zimbabwe.
Further details of the commemorations have not yet been reported. Watch for Herald.co.zw and other Zimbabwean outlets for the full programme and any statements from officials involved in organising the event.
