10 April 2017, MBERENGWA – After work had been halted due to financial constraints last year, the Madhekwana Clinic project in Ward 8, Mberengwa, is again taking shape following a fundraising programme launched by the ward councillor.
Speaking to TellZim News, Mataruse B1 Ward 8 Councilor Marline Ziwewera said he decided to fundraise after alternative plans to get money had failed.
“Mberengwa Rural District Council gave us some space at Vutsanana business centre to establish an exhibition centre where businesses and individuals were welcomed to exhibit their products on the 26th day of every month at a very low cost of US$2.00 per exhibitor. We would then take the money to the local authority which took 40 percent of the money and gave us the remaining 60 percent,” said Ziwewera.
 “I am happy with the reception that the initiative has received and I’m pretty sure that the project is going to be successful,” Ziwewera added.
Being his own brainchild, Ziwewera said he wanted the project to help his people to get healthcare closer home and reduce transport costs of going to other clinics and to Mnene Mission Hospital.
He said the project still needs more money for the construction of two staff houses.
“We still need a little help so that we can build two houses for the nurses who will be deployed at the clinic,” Ziwewera said.heath

President pfee pa wheelchair, enter Mudzidzi Wimbo!

0

Some of these things never cease to amaze Mapombi! Ndinoshamiswa kwazvo. But Zimbabweans so, they are very good people. I am sure Dr Grace and her husband thank their gods every day for making sure that we become more docile than sheep. I think makwai arinani ini. From kwedu kwaChirimudombo up to Buruwayo, same fanana ungati zvivanhu izvi zvakabugwa from same gango, kkkk kungogutsurira musoro chete even if they are insulted, hanya nani chidhoma chekwaChivi, ah nhasi zvangu nevanhu vekwaChivi kkk vagondini sevanoroya. After all they are all Zimbabweans, vangandidini wakati baba Tencen. I am always puzzled by this drama that I see. In fact, ndazoriguta manje drama iri, I wish I had a passport, ingadai ndava kuto crossa crossa zvangu mabhodha ndava kutoti sarai zvenyu naDr Amai venyu vachingoporofita. Mukati with that furious Cyclone Dineo ndingapabuda pana Limpopo iyeni? I am extremely worried.
She told you openly that day and you thought she were joking, when she said baba ava vachatonga from the wheelchair. Ko hazvina kuitika here, nhasi varipai? And ZBC so futi kkk regai mahwindi okuno aiti dead BC, meaning those guys vanenge vanomhanya waya so hanzi the President was given mobile chair and then they were quick to change and said massage chair and then they ended there instead of just saying the mobile chair popularly known as the wheelchair in Zimbabwe kkk. Hamudivo here kuti mother vawane credit for being a prophetess, and you know what, straight from his wheelchair iyoyo ine engine vanenge vachisimudza chamboko chavo vachirova everyone anoti pwetere pwetere, and futi this year, we are going to enjoy the drama. All I can confirm is that if Moms starts her own church, Mapombi will be the first to join, maybe she will say Mapombi will become a minister straight from her Dr Grace Trading Centre to the cabinet kkk aah inotambika makatarisa ungandidii hapana or let me say mungavadii First Lady hapana, now the President pfee pa wheelchair.
Now we are waiting for another prophecy to come to pass. Mose makaihwa when she was in Buhera, she told you live on ZBC yenyu yepamoyo or let me say your favourite station kkk yes your favourite, if it’s not why are you not advocating for media pluralism, it means you are still enjoying ZBC. Zimbabwe is the only country in the world with a 93 year-old President in a wheelchair aah sorry in the massage chair and with one TV station. Kkkk hakuna nyika yakadaro boys. Zvamaimboti makadzidza wani? Mapombi is better with his birth certificate than all the professors and PhD holders that are full of cowards and they want us to believe that they are diplomatic kkk hakuna diploma yakadaro. Hanzi muchatongwa navo even varimuguva, you will still vote for Dady or dead or both kkk, there is no choice and thus where Mapombi would say go go prophesy mother or go deeper! Let’s wait for another rally.
I think madzibaba Wimbo of the 1957 prophecy fame vaoneswa moto uko nana Kasukuwere. But can’t you ask yourselves kuti from 1957 vane here imwe prophesy yavakaita? It’s now 60 years after Wimbo made a popular prophesy and muchirikungoti Wimbo ndiye mambo? I think something is terribly wrong! Leave the old man alone vakomana. Zvenyu zvekurovana nekutukana in Zanu PF is unavoidable when someone is on a massage chair kkk. Saka tokati kaZim 2 here? Nhasi zvangu, ndanyanya kuvhunzisa. Baba tongai kusvika madhongi amera nyanga… thus Mapombi’s prophesy! 
Vangatadza sei kutonga when the opposition is playing cheap politics. I think I am a better leader as compared to some of these leaders in the opposition, chinozivikanwa hapana, basa kutemana nemasanhu. You play the Manyuchi on each other apa chinyika chenyu chakadai? Munosvodesa imi.
 Ummn am very hungy and angry now. Those who are going to Chingwizi for the East elections paweekend mundimhoroserevo muzukuru Joosbi muti kwahi neni makorokoto waenda kuparamende, wotionera massage chair pedo. Most importantly tell him kuti he has joined the game of giants, I hope zvake zvokuti today he is in Muslim and tomorrow he is Christian ends in Chingwizi. Akangodaro kumafaction kuti nhasi G40 mangwana Lacoste anenge apera but for now muudzei atambire pedo neLacoste because if he goes kuG40 anodzoswa asati asvika kuBeatrice on his way to Parliament kkk Zanu or Zano PF chiwororo.
Regai ndikange zvangu maputi angu for lunch, mungazoti ndotaurisa. Mboko imboko!mapombi
