The Bulawayo Children’s Choir is known for its vibrant performances and ability to connect with audiences through powerful messages. "Igama Lakho" (It’s All in the Name) seems like it will delve into important themes of identity and belonging, which resonate deeply with many people.

A song that emphasizes the significance of names can evoke a sense of pride and cultural heritage, reminding listeners of the stories and meanings behind their own identities. The choir's talent and creativity will surely shine through in this new release, and it’s exciting to think about how it might uplift and inspire those who hear it.

Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has reaffirmed his commitment to observe his two-term limit of office that is expected to end in 2028, saying he will not be swayed by current efforts being made to extend the tenure to 2030. He said those pushing to have his term extended were exercising their democratic right, but those efforts will not in any way persuade him to remain in office when his term ends. He will allow his party Zanu PF and the country to elect his successor. The Head of State and Government said this yesterday at State House during an interactive meeting with editors of various publications drawn from both the public and private media.

Throughout history, we have seen the power of the written word. But let us not forget that actions speak louder than words. A history written in blood cannot be erased by lies written in ink. We must never forget the atrocities of our past and strive towards a better future.

The City of Bulawayo has proposed allocating its ZWG176 million devolution funds towards the purchase of 144 vehicles and plant equipment from a Belarusian company to enhance service delivery in the city.

The proposed fleet purchase includes a variety of vehicles, such as tractors, front loaders, disc mowers, disc ploughs, rakes, balers, tractor trailers, water tanks, garbage trailers, dump trucks, and fast-response cars. The total cost of the procurement in foreign currency amounts to US$7,5 million.

Devolution funds, allocated by the Government to local authorities, aim to improve service delivery at a time when many councils face challenges in financing critical services. These funds have already contributed to grassroots development in various communities, with new schools, clinics, and roads being constructed across the country.

In Cowdray Park, a sprawling suburb of Bulawayo, devolution funds were used to build Vulindlela Primary School, alleviating overcrowding in the area.

New Mathendele Primary School betters access to education in Plumtree

The newly constructed Mathendele Primary School in Plumtree, built using devolution funds, is set to ease congestion in existing schools and significantly improve access to education in the border town.

The school, which now accommodates learners from Early Childhood Development (ECD) A to Grade 2, was established to alleviate overcrowding at Dingumuzi Primary School. Construction began in 2021 and was completed in 2024, with a total investment of US$198 000 sourced from devolution funds, the beer levy, and council allocations.

The Government has embarked on a deliberate strategy to enhance education infrastructure countrywide, including here in Matabeleland South Province. This initiative addresses the infrastructure gap, improves literacy and numeracy levels, and reduces the distances learners have to travel to school,” she said.

The minister stated that Mathendele Primary School will serve newly developed suburbs such as Mathendele and ZBS, while also helping to decongest older schools like Matiwaza, Allan Redfern, and Dingumuzi Primary Schools, which collectively accommodate 3 460 learners.

This event marks not just the opening of a building but the beginning of endless possibilities for the children of this community. Education is the foundation of any thriving society. It shapes young minds, empowers individuals, and lays the groundwork for progress and development.

By investing in schools, the Government is investing in future leaders who will drive Zimbabwe towards a prosperous economy.

With social amenities and infrastructure development being key pillars of the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1), local authorities have utilised devolution funds to complement community and stakeholder efforts, ensuring timely project completion.

Devolution funds continue to assist local authorities across the country in fulfilling their obligations, leading to the development of essential infrastructure such as clinics, classroom blocks, roads, and bridges.
