By Desire Tshuma
Mazowe – Sekuru Nyangatayani has once again demonstrated his commitment to education, donating stationery and paying school fees for over hundred underprivileged children at Farai Primary School in Mazowe West. The donation, valued at thousands of dollars, includes exercise books, pens, pencils, and other essential materials, bringing smiles to the faces of students and teachers alike.
The handover ceremony was attended by councillor Dickson Mucheriwa for the ward who praised President Emerson Mnangagwa’s mantra ” leaving no one and no place behind” and also praising sekuru Nyangatayani’s selflessness. “Sekuru Nyangatayani is a true hero, always putting the needs of others before his own. His generosity is an inspiration to us all, and we hope others will follow his example.”
School Head Mr. Shonhiwa Nyanhanga expressed gratitude for the donation, but also highlighted the school’s pressing challenges. “We appreciate Sekuru Nyangatayani’s kindness, but we still face significant hurdles. Our school transformer was stolen three years ago, and despite informing the authorities, including our Member of Parliament Honourable Kazembe Kazembe who is also, the Home Affairs Minister but nothing has been done we still have no electricity. It’s disheartening. Our children are forced to study in the dark, and it’s affecting their performance.”
Mr. Fredmok Mulesi, School Development Committee Chairman, echoed these sentiments. “We thank Sekuru Nyangatayani for his generosity, but we need the authorities to act. Our children deserve better learning conditions. We urge the government to help us restore electricity so our students can thrive. We also appeal to well-meaning individuals and organizations to assist us in rebuilding our school.”
The donation comes as the community grapples with a tragic incident in Concession, where a man’s beheaded body was found floating in a dam, leaving residents shocked and concerned about rising murder cases in the province. The incident has sparked fears and unease, with many calling for increased security measures.
Sekuru Nyangatayani, who has been recognized for his charitable work, including building a house for an orphaned girl and supporting people with disabilities, continues to inspire hope in the community. His philanthropic efforts have earned him widespread acclaim, with many hailing him as a role model.
Farai Primary School has 12 teachers, with a predominantly female staff, and serves a student body in need of continued support. The school’s challenges are not unique, as many rural schools in Zimbabwe struggle with inadequate resources and infrastructure.
The community is still reeling from the news of the gruesome murder, and many are calling for justice and increased efforts to combat crime. As Sekuru Nyangatayani’s kindness brings joy to Farai Primary School, it serves as a reminder that there is still goodness in the world, and that together, we can make a difference.
