THE Highfield community have honoured their sport personalities and legends.
Among the legends, who were honoured, was Zimbabwe Newspapers chief executive officer, Pikirayi Deketeke, and legendary bodybuilder Givemore Marume.
Addressing guests in Machipisa, Acting Provincial Deputy Director in the Ministry of Youth, Arts and Recreation, Authur Mudarikwa, said the basis of the community centre was to empower the youth to help them excel in sports, arts and recreation.
“Highfield Community Gym and Black Moses Academy are non-profit registered organisations,” said Mudarikwa.
“They have three major faculties, which are fitness and wellness, heritage and culture and charity ministry.
“It acts as a rehabilitation hub since we have managed to curb drug abuse.
“Some of the sports personalities were rejected and abandoned by their families, and regarded as societal rejects, menaces and misguided elements of the community.
“But, this centre has managed to reunite and transform their lives,” he said.
