Masvingo North MP, Hon. B. Mudumi conducted a community outreach visit in Zimuto, engaging residents in Ward 4 and Ward 1 to assess development progress and strengthen grassroots initiatives. At Beza Primary School in Ward 4, Hon. Mudumi reviewed preparedness for the upcoming school term and inspected the rehabilitation of a teachers’ house, now nearing completion. He supported these efforts with building materials and donated cement for the repair of the main bridge damaged by recent rains. The school is also set to serve as a Constituency Ward Centre, where a community hatchery project will soon be established. Through the Changu Pa Changu Fushai Cooperative, Hon. Mudumi continues to empower women by providing financial support aimed at promoting self-reliance and sustainable livelihoods. In Ward 1, he visited all centres under the initiative to assess progress and encourage community participation. Reinforcing the vision of “Nyika inovakwa ne vene vayo,” he donated chickens, starter feeds, and additional financial support to strengthen local cooperatives. These efforts reflect ongoing strides in education, infrastructure development, and economic empowerment as Masvingo North moves towards inclusive growth. Hon. Mudumi expressed sincere appreciation to the leadership of Ward 4 and Ward 1, the Provincial Vice Chairman of ZANU PF Masvingo Province, and all dignitaries present for their continued support. Let us continue working together for the development of our communities. @BrianMudumi

The Minister of State for Masvingo Province, Hon. E.R. Chadzamira, said the church plays an important role in supporting Government efforts to develop the country. Speaking at the Johanne the 5th of Africa International Church Big Sunday Service, he shared greetings from President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa and said faith and national development go hand in hand. He explained that Zimbabwe is working towards Vision 2030, with programmes like TSP, NDS1 and NDS2 aimed at improving the economy and achieving an upper middle-income status. Hon. Chadzamira encouraged everyone — including churches — to work together to build a better and more inclusive nation where no one is left behind. He praised the church for teaching good values such as hard work, peace, unity and compassion, and recognised the Johanne the 5th Church for its role in community development. The Minister also urged churches to work together to help solve challenges like unemployment and poverty. He stressed that building the country is everyone’s responsibility, saying: “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo, igotongwa nevene vayo.” Speaking to young people, he encouraged them to lead by example, quoting the Bible, 1 Timothy 4:12: “Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers.” He said the Government values its partnership with the church in building responsible citizens and supporting national development.

PRECABE FARM, KWEKWE HISTORY BEING MADE. President Cyril Ramaphosa of the Republic of South Africa is on Zimbabwean soil. And among the distinguished delegation receiving him at Precabe Farm, Kwekwe is none other than Dr. Paul Tungwarara Presidential Investment and Empowerment Advisor ZANU-PF Central Committee Member . This is what genuine empowerment looks like at the highest diplomatic level.A man who started by drilling boreholes in rural communities. A man who built Village Business Units for unemployed youth. A man who refurbished hospitals. A man who housed war veterans. Today standing shoulder to shoulder with presidents. Not as a bystander. Not as a spectator. As a principal. As Zimbabwe's Presidential Investment and Empowerment Advisor Dr. Tungwarara's presence in this delegation sends a clear message to South Africa and the region: ✅️Zimbabwe is open for business. ✅️Zimbabwe has capable, credible people driving its investment agenda. Zimbabwe means what it says about empowerment. The Precabe visit is not merely a farm tour. It is an investment conversation. It is a bilateral opportunity. It is Zimbabwe saying to South Africa and the continent "Come. See what we are building. Partner with us." And Dr. Paul Tungwarara the man who has made empowerment visible from the borehole to the boardroom Is exactly the right man in that room.

NDS2: Gwayi-Shangani Lake Nears Completion This is a massive milestone for a project of this scale. Reaching the 75% mark suggests that the most technically challenging foundational and structural work on the dam wall is likely behind them, shifting the focus toward the final heightening and the integration of the delivery infrastructure. The impact of this project extends far beyond just "filling a reservoir." Here is a breakdown of why this specific progress point is so significant for the region: 1️⃣Ending the Bulawayo Water Crisis Bulawayo has faced perennial water shortages for decades, often relying on depleted supply dams in Matabeleland South. ✍🏽Capacity: Once finished, Gwayi-Shangani will be the third-largest inland dam in Zimbabwe. ✍🏽The Pipeline: The 252km Gwayi-Shangani-Bulawayo pipeline is the "vein" of this project. Simultaneous work on the pipeline and the dam is crucial to ensure that as soon as the water is impounded, it can actually reach the city's taps. 2️⃣The "Green Belt" Vision The project isn't just about moving water from point A to point B; it’s about what happens in between. ✍🏽Irrigation: Around 10,000 hectares of land along the pipeline route are earmarked for irrigation. This transforms a semi-arid region into a food-producing hub. ✍🏽Fisheries & Tourism: The lake will create a new ecosystem for commercial fishing and high-end tourism, capitalizing on its proximity to Hwange National Park. 3️⃣Power Generation There is also a hydroelectric component planned for the site. While the dam's primary goal is water, the ability to generate 10MW of electricity locally will be a significant boost for the immediate infrastructure and nearby communities. ### What’s Next? As the dam wall nears its final height, the focus typically shifts to: * Completion of the spillway and outlet works. * Finalizing the clearing of the lake floor. * Accelerating the pipeline laying, which involves significant trenching and pumping station construction to navigate the terrain toward Bulawayo. It’s an exciting time for national infrastructure—seeing a vision first conceptualized in 1912 finally nearing the finish line is a historic shift for Matabeleland North.

Masvingo North MP, Hon. B. Mudumi, distributed 2,300 chicks to women’s groups in Ward 2 as part of his ongoing grassroots empowerment programme. The distribution covered several centres, including Maraire, Zimuto Siding, Nhamwi, Matoto and Mutatiri, with each group receiving 100 chicks to support small-scale poultry projects. The initiative is aimed at promoting income generation and strengthening community-based economic activities among women. Speaking at the handover, one of other beneficiaries, expressed gratitude to His Excellency, President ED Mnangagwa, noting that such initiatives help keep them productively engaged while improving household livelihoods. @BrianMudumi

Young Women for ED has started to revisit young women who previously benefited from the Pass-On Empowerment Fund, an initiative implemented through mukando (savings groups). The Masvingo Provincial Chairperson for Young women 4 ED, Councillor S. Marombedze, toured Mwenezi District, Mwenezi East, West and North constituencies, where a pass-on empowerment programme was conducted. This initiative saw earlier beneficiaries extending support to other groups involved, enabling more young women to participate in income-generating projects. The young women expressed their excitement, noting that within just four months of running their projects, they had already managed to pass on the support to others, creating more opportunities for empowerment within their communities. They also conveyed their appreciation to Emmerson Mnangagwa, acknowledging that his leadership is driving empowerment programmes to reach grassroots communities, in line with the vision of leaving no one and no place behind. @youngwomen4ed1 @TateMavetera
