PARENTS of six learners from Mhali Primary School will not have to worry about paying next year’s fees after the kids were awarded bursaries for performing well in 2025.
The top performers who excelled in their respective grades are Ntombikayise Donga, Charles Manyembe, Sharon Zishiri, Luba Mugar, Sizalobuhle Ndlovu and Ruth Matsongoni.
A local bus company – City Link Coaches- has pledged to pay next year’s school fees for the top perfomers.
Mrs Ruth Manyembe, mother to young Charles who came up tops in Grade 2, said was proud of her son’s achievement.
“I won’t have to worry about school fees for the whole of 2026. I’m proud of my boy for being the overall top performer in Grade 2.
“I’m grateful to the sponsors of the bursaries for showing our kids that hard work pays,” said Mrs Manyembe.
Zimbabwe Ambassador to Australia Joe Tapera Mhishi has urged Mhali Primary School learners to work hard as the sky is limit.
Ambassador Mhishi is a former student of Mhali Primary School.
“Everyone of you (learners) can be whatever you want to be in life as long you work hard in your academic studies and extra curriculum activities such as sports, drama and agriculture among others,”
“At City Link Coaches, we are deeply committed to investing in the future of our nation through education and community development.
“By providing this sponsorship, we aim to significantly alleviate the financial burden on these students and their families, while also inspiring these talented young minds to strive for excellence and reach their full potential as positive contributors to society. We are truly honoured to support their educational journey,” Ms Edith Dube, the City Link Coaches’ Bulawayo Regional Manager.
