The ZITF exhibition partnership between the Reformed Church University and the City of Masvingo which has been running since 2013, is only one of the various partnerships that the University has had with the City of Masvingo as it consolidates its key strategic area of Community Engagement as outlined in the RCU Strategic Plan 2015-2019.
Commenting on this remarkable achievement, RCU Vice Chancellor Professor Wiseman Magwa noted that, ‘this milestone of winning a Silver Medal at an international exhibition such as ZITF is testimony that the RCU is on the right path with regards to growth and the provision of quality Higher Education at both local and regional levels.’
In 2014 the Reformed Church University and the City of Masvingo in yet another successful partnership held a clean-up campaign where the University and the City of Masvingo, cleaned littered places across the city, advocating for a change in mindsets, attitudes and habits towards non-littering and illegal dumping.
Professor Magwa hailed the partnership between the Reformed Church University and the City of Masvingo, highlighting that the RCU shall distinguish itself in both the academic fraternity and the community by creating synergies that will increase its visibility, brand recognition and brand equity and its resource base to ensure its growth and sustainability in strategic terms.local
