DELTA Corporation has reaffirmed its commitment to education and developing human capital.
The company said this during celebrations for the 2026 Bursary graduates.
The graduates were recognised at a sundowner event held last Friday.
They were all beneficiaries of the company’s Bursary Programme, under its broader Schools Assistance Programme.
The Class of 2026 comprises graduates from the University of Zimbabwe (UZ), Harare Institute of Technology (HIT), and the National University of Science and Technology (NUST).
Their areas of study include Medicine, Pharmacy, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Science, Actuarial Sciences, Spatial Planning and Management, Food Processing Technology, and Forensic Accounting and Auditing.
The diversity of these disciplines reflects the importance of developing the technical, scientific, professional and entrepreneurial capabilities required to support Zimbabwe’s long-term socio-economic development.
Speaking at the celebrations, Delta Corporation General Manager Corporate Affairs, Patricia Murambinda, said:
“For us, this is about much more than providing bursaries.
“It is about creating opportunity and enabling young people with potential to acquire the knowledge and professional capabilities they need to build meaningful futures.
“Seeing our beneficiaries graduate in fields such as medicine, engineering, pharmacy, science, technology, and finance is particularly rewarding.
“Their graduation represents years of commitment and perseverance, but it also marks the beginning of a new responsibility to use their knowledge and skills to contribute to their professions, communities, and country.”
Delta Corporation regards education as an important pillar of sustainable community development.
Through its Schools Assistance Programme, and related interventions, the company seeks to expand educational opportunities and contribute to developing the human capital required by Zimbabwe’s economy.
“Corporate social investment creates its greatest value when it builds capability that continues multiplying long after the initial intervention.
“A bursary may support one student but an educated doctor, engineer, pharmacist, scientist, planner, or financial professional can potentially influence many more lives throughout a career.
“That is the multiplier effect of education. We therefore see these young people not simply as beneficiaries of a programme but as part of Zimbabwe’s emerging human capital,” she said.
As they transition from university into professional life, the company encouraged the graduates to combine technical competence with integrity, resilience, continuous learning, and a commitment to serving society.
“Their qualifications represent academic achievement.
“What they now do with the knowledge, opportunities, and capabilities behind those qualifications will define their contribution to the future,” Murambinda added.
