Zanu PF Shamva North legislator, Isaac Chinodakufa,has partnered with the Johane Marange Apostolic Sect to construct new primary and secondary schools in his constituency, marking a concrete step toward realising President Mnangagwa's Vision 2030.
The community-driven initiative, which involves local members actively participating in brick moulding and construction, directly addresses the educational needs of marginalised groups while aligning with national development goals.
Honourable Chinodakufa emphasised the project's significance in fulfilling the Government's education agenda.
"We are walking the talk of President Mnangagwa's Vision 2030 by ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to quality education. Thispartnership demonstrates how community engagement can turn the President's vision into tangible development that uplifts our people," Chinodakufa declared.
The project exemplifies the Education 5.0 framework's emphasis on innovation and community participation.
By working with the Johane Marange sect, a religious group whose children have historically faced barriers to formal education, the initiative showcases the Second Republic's inclusive approach to national development.
Honourable Chinodakufa reaffirmed his commitment to education development stating, "Through such grassroots initiatives, we are building not just schools, but the foundation for Zimbabwe's prosperous future as envisioned by our President. This is the Second Republic's development philosophy in action - practical, inclusive and transformative."
A member for the Johane Marange community who preferred anonymity, expressed gratitude for the collaboration.
"Honourable Chinodakufa has bridged the gap between our religious practices and national education objectives. This project proves that our children can maintain their faith while gaining modern education.This initiative successfully balances cultural sensitivity with educational advancement, creating a blueprint for similar projects nationwide,” said the member.
With the first phase of construction nearing completion, the project stands as a testament to the power of community-Government partnerships in achieving Vision 2030.
The facilities are expected to serve over 500 students initially, with potential for expansion to accommodate more learners.
The project's success in Shamva North constituencyhas already inspired similar discussions in neighbouring constituencies, signalling potential for wider adoption of this collaborative model across Zimbabwe's religious communities.
