Community-built school opens in Mwenezi

George Maponga in Mwenezi

Community members in Joseph Village pooled resources to build a school in their area under the Joseph Institute of Development.

Rixile Primary School has since opened its doors to learners and has an enrolment of 80 pupils in Early Childhood Development up to Grade 2.

 

The development has improved the education system in Joseph Village and surrounding areas.

Econet chief executive officer Dr Douglas Mboweni and his wife Mrs Sarudzayi Mboweni are part of those who contributed towards the construction of the state-of-the-art facility.

Learners at the school have access to computers at the school, which has revolutionised education in the area.

The school is currently operating as a satellite of the nearby Mutande Primary School, with plans to get it registered next year.

Rixile is a Shangaan word that means ‘it’s dawn’.
