“In the true spirit of inclusiveness traditional leadership and other villagers across the political divide pooled resources for the bridge construction project. The selflessness and team spirit made the project a success.
During the rainy season these areas were cut off from each other resulting in children not attending school across the river”, said MDC-T councillor for the ward, Passmore Mangwiro.
Mangwiro commended headmen Zuva, Chizanga, Makate, Mavhunga and other traditional leaders who inspired locals to participate in the programme.
“I want to express special appreciation for services offered by a villager, Gilbert Mheyamwa, who provided a tractor which was used to fell and transport stones to the construction site. Another selfless villager, Peter Ngondo, contributed immensely to the provision of other construction requirements,” said Mangwiro.
The construction of infrastructure such as roads and bridges is the responsibility of the government-funded District Development Fund (DDF), which struggled to fulfil its mandate due to lack of resources.
