Masvingo City Council (MCC) has embarked on an infrastructure development drive at Rujeko Secondary School so as to improve on their capabilities to enrol more learners at the institution in 2023.
Council intends to commence construction works on its administration block and classroom building for next year’s form twos.
Responding to the issue raised by Mayor councillor Collen Maboke on the plans towards improving the infrastructure in a recent full council meeting, Town Clerk Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa confirmed the development saying that they are currently excavating the ground for the blocks and waiting for devolution funds that may be availed in May 2022.
“We expect that we will complete our form two and adminstration blocks within a reasonable time frame as we are currently on excavation process for the buildings and we will resume building once we purchase the necessary materials.
“We are only waiting for the devolution funds that are most likely to be availed around May 2022 for us to start the project,” said Mukaratirwa.
Mayor, Cllr Collen Maboke said that his wish was for the school building to use face bricks like those of Ndarama High School as they give a pleasant look.
“It is our wish that works on improving infrastructure at the school commences on time. At least if we can come up with plans to modernise our buildings that is maybe in form of high-rising buildings or at least use those types of bricks used at Ndarama High School, our structures would be better,” suggested Maboke.
The city council run school currently has two blocks that house their pioneer form one pupils and with nine months remaining for the pupils to graduate to form twos, the school is set to commence works on their form two block building and adminstration block.
