Masvingo South Member of Parliament (MP) Tanatsiwa Mukomberi is making a tangible difference in the lives of his constituents through a series of impactful development projects on health care and education from his 2025 Constituency Development Fund (CDF) allocation.
Speaking to TellZim News, Mukomberi said he had taken further steps to improve the health system in his constituency by directing a portion of the CDF towards establishing new health centres and sprucing up existing ones to improve access to the crucial service.
“We bought building material for Maregere Clinic at Tokwane Ngundu, for the completion of the staff house. CDF financed procurement of equipment and drilling for a solar-powered borehole to supply water at the clinic.
“In the meantime, we resolved to have a slab, and we will use tents to ensure that people can receive health assistance while constructing the superstructure. This way, nurses will have accommodation, and water supply will be readily available,” said Mukomberi.
Mukomberi said part of the CDF bought building material for Chisase clinic while construction of another clinic at Fusira in ward 27 was at an advanced stage.
“Window panes, doors, and locks have already been sent to finish the staff house at Chisase Clinic. At Fusira in Ward 27, we are constructing a clinic and recently sent cement to complete it. We are making final touches so that it can start operating,” said Mukomberi.
In terms of education, Mukomberi said part of the CDF was directed towards construction of new toilets and classroom blocks at schools in Masvingo South constituency.
“We provided materials for the construction of a block at newly established Ndumuke Primary in Kuchakanya area, including paint and everything needed for roofing, plastering, doors, and lock pads. Everything is now in order, and they are ready to start working on the project, which should be close to completion in few weeks. Cement was delivered to the Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre in Ward 31.
“We provided materials to build ablution blocks at Magudu Primary. The toilets there are in a poor state and pose a risk to leaners. At Ganyange, we constructed an ECD block so we delivered materials for roofing and cement for plastering and flooring for it to open,” said Mukomberi.
These projects demonstrate the MP’s commitment to leveraging CDF resources to drive meaningful development in Masvingo South.
