Season’s greetings and best wishes for the New Year

From the Harare Polytechnic School of Journalism and Mass Communication, we extend our warmest and most heartfelt greetings to all our valued stakeholders during this festive season.
As the year draws to a close, we pause to celebrate the stories told, the voices amplified, the trainee journalists produced, and the academic milestones achieved within the hallowed halls of the nation’s premier journalism centre and the oldest and largest polytechnic—Harare Polytechnic. These achievements are a testament to the collective commitment, partnership, and passion that continue to define our community. To our stakeholders, we wish you a Christmas filled with joy, peace, good health, and a generous dose of humour. In an industry where deadlines are relentless and the news cycle never sleeps, we hope this season offers you a well-deserved opportunity to unplug from the digital noise and reconnect with the laughter of family, friends, and the grounding rhythms of rural life. May your celebrations be as engaging and uplifting as a well-crafted feature story. As we look ahead, we wish the entire Harare Polytechnic community a remarkably fruitful, creative, and prosperous 2026. Here’s to a new year of clarity, innovation, impactful storytelling, and strengthened partnerships. Season’s greetings and best wishes for the New Year.
