MP TASIKANI BACKS ZPCS SPORT AS GOVT PUSHES HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN MASH EAST

MUTOKO – Hon. Isaac Tasikani, MP for Mutoko South, has reaffirmed Government’s commitment to grassroots sport development after donating full kits and equipment to winners of the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service, ZPCS, Mashonaland East Provincial Officer Commanding Tournament held at Mutoko Government High School over the weekend.

The tournament brought together officers from ZPCS stations across the province for a weekend of competition, camaraderie and wellness.

In line with the Government’s mantra of leaving no one and no place behind, Hon. Tasikani presented soccer and netball kits to winning teams, as well as sports balls and sewing machines, among other items.

Held under the theme “ZPCS Fighting Drug and Substance Abuse Through Sport”, the tournament forms part of the Service’s Health and Wellness agenda. It also supports the Public Service Commission’s thrust to promote fitness, mental wellbeing and networking among civil servants.

With Mutoko now having hosted a successful provincial event, attention shifts to selecting Mashonaland East’s best teams to represent the province at national level.

The partnership between Parliament, ZPCS, and local communities is seen as key to rolling out Government’s health, wellness and anti-drug programs to every district.

ZPCS MASHONALAND EAST OC TOURNAMENT BRINGS OFFICERS TOGETHER IN MUTOKO

MUTOKO – The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service, ZPCS, Mashonaland East Province held its Provincial Officer Commanding Tournament over the weekend at Mutoko Government High School, bringing together officers from stations across the province in a celebration of sport, wellness and unity.

Held under the theme “ZPCS Fighting Drug and Substance Abuse Through Sport", the tournament is part of ZPCS’ broader Health and Wellness agenda. It aligns with the Public Service Commission’s thrust to promote fitness, networking and wellbeing among civil servants and government employees.

The games also serve as preparation for the Commissioner General’s Sports Tournament set for later this year.

Officers battled it out in various sporting codes, with fierce but friendly competition:

Netball: 1st - Mutoko Prison | 2nd - Murehwa Prison
Soccer: 1st - Mutoko Prison | 2nd - Marondera Prison
Darts: 1st - Murehwa Prison
Volleyball: 1st - Provincial Headquarters

Mutoko Prison emerged as the overall team to beat on home ground, clinching gold in both netball and soccer.

The event was graced by Hon Isaac Tasikani, Member of Parliament for Mutoko South Constituency, in whose constituency the games were hosted.

In line with President ED Mnangagwa's mantra of leaving no one and no place behind, Hon. Tasikani used the occasion to deliver goodwill donations to the winning teams. These included full soccer and netball kits, sports balls, and sewing machines, among other items.

ZPCS' Officer Commanding tournament does more than determine winners. It provides officers with a drug-free platform to stay healthy, relieve stress, and strengthen bonds across stations.

By converging officers from across Mashonaland East in one place, the games also foster networking, teamwork and esprit de corps which are key values in the correctional service.

The success of the Mutoko tournament sets the tone as the province now prepares to select its best teams to represent Mashonaland East at the Commissioner General’s tournament towards year end.
