“The people of Zimbabwe were among the first to respond to the devastation of Tropical Cyclone Freddy by donating 300 metric tonnes of maize, 30 metric tonnes of non-food items to relieve the suffering of the victims of the cyclone. In addition to that, Zimbabwe has just donated to Malawi 30 tonnes of cement which will be followed by 30 tonnes of planks of timber,” Zikhale Ng’oma said.

Eid al-Fitr, (Arabic: “Festival of Breaking Fast”) also spelled ʿĪd al-Fiṭr, also called al-ʿĪd al-Ṣaghīr, Turkish Ramazan Bayramı (“Ramadan Festival”), is the first of two canonical festivals of Islam.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, and is celebrated during the first three days of Shawwāl, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar (though the Muslim use of a lunar calendar means that it may fall in any season of the year).

As in Islam’s other holy festival, Eid al-Adha, it is distinguished by the performance of communal prayer (ṣalāt) at daybreak on its first day.

Eid al-Fitr is a time of official receptions and private visits, when friends greet one another, presents are given, new clothes are worn, and the graves of relatives are visited.
