Gutu
Rural District Council (RDC) has constructed a seven roomed staff house at
Gwira Secondary School in Ward 8 Gutu North which was commissioned a fortnight
ago by the deputy Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare
Lovemore Matuke.
The
project started in 2017 and was completed this year using devolution funds.
Matuke
praised Gutu RDC for channeling the devolution funds towards community
development.
“We
thank our local authority for doing such a great job in community development.
This is not the only project that they are doing but there are plenty others. I
am impressed they are using the devolution funds well,” said Matuke.
Gutu
RDC council chairperson Nicholus Zambara said they decided to build the house
after receiving a request from the school.
“We
received the request from the school citing that teachers were being
discouraged due to the distance they were traveling every day from Mpandawana
town and this was negatively affecting the school’s pass rate so we decided to build
the house adding to the existing one.
“With
this move, we hope there will be an improvement since the teachers will have more
time with learners,” said Zambara.
