Victor Maphosa recently in Hwedza
VILLAGES in Hwedza’s Ward 10 district will soon access health services closer to their homes after Government, through devolution, funded the construction of Madzimbahwe clinic.
This brings relief to villagers who have been walking for long distances to the next clinic for the critical service.
The clinic which is about 96 percent complete will serve 28 villages, with beneficiaries thanking Government and Hwedza Rural District Council for constructing the health facility near their homes.
Already, there is a solar-powered borehole which is supplying the whole clinic and surrounding communities with clean water for consumption, courtesy of Hwedza RDC.
Villagers who spoke to The Herald recently, during a tour of the clinic by council officials, said the clinic will ease their troubles when sick.
They commended the Second Republic for walking the talk and fulfilling the promise of leaving no one and no place behind in developing the nation.
Ward 10 Councillor, Musekiwa Ushe, commended President Mnangagwa for making sure devolution funds are availed and are put to good use thereby developing rural areas.
“I want to thank President Mnangagwa for making sure devolution funds are availed.
“This has enabled development to take place in the rural areas and ensuring that councils improve service delivery to the people.
“We are thankful to his commitment in improving the livelihoods of everyone.
“I want also to thank villagers who have assisted in various ways. As you can see, the clinic is almost complete. We have also built a house for the staff.
“So we are sure the clinic will be opened soon and serve the people. The challenge of walking for long distances will be over.”
Mr Jephat Ruguva, from Ward 10 also thanked the Second Republic and the Hwedza RDC for channelling funds towards improving healthy delivery in ward 10.
“This development is commendable.
“We are thankful to the Government under President Mnangagwa.
“This clinic will bring relief to many people who are currently walking for long distances to the next clinic.”
Mr Yogoyogo appealed to the Government to quickly complete the clinic so that they can access health service closer to their homes.
Headman Edson Ushe thanked villagers who worked in unity during the construction of the clinic.
“There was unity among villagers, and that is commendable. I want to also salute our Government for fulfilling their promise that they will bring critical services closer to the people. My prayer is for the clinic to be opened soon so that we can be served nearby,” he said.
