CHIPINGE- Transport and freight service provider Swift has ploughed back to the community through a kindly gesture of donating wheel chairs and groceries to people living with disabilities in the district on November 18.
The District Social Development Coordinator applauded the initiative by the transport company and urged other organizations in Chipinge and around Zimbabwe to follow such footsteps.
“This is quite a step in the right direction by the transport company SWIFT, an act that restores humanity within the people to which we urge other organization to follow suit in copying such a gesture be it in Chipinge or around Zimbabwe,” noted Zongoro.
Chipinge SWIFT supervisor Aaron Mugiyo who officially handed over the items said that this initiative is not central to Chipinge but it is something done in communities around Zimbabwe.
“The old saying ‘give and it shall be given unto you’ stands firm with us as we extend the little that we have to those in need. This is an initiative being done around Zimbabwe, thus everywhere where there is a SWIFT depot and it is something we are proud of as a company,” said Mugiyo.
The names of those that received parcels from SWIFT are Susan Muhlauko from ward 27, Nancy Mwayemutsa ward 8, and Shakemore Mundandishi, Constance and Nomatter Sithole hailing from ward 6.
The donation ceremony held at Chipinge Government Complex saw representatives from the security department, the District Development Coordinator’s office, the District Information Officer, the Ministry of Health and Child Care, National Council for Disabled People in Zimbabwe among others.
SWIFT is a transport company that carries parcels for people to their desired destinations and has operations around Zimbabwe.
