The country’s sole kimberlite diamond miner, Murowa Diamonds, has handed over infrastructure worth $450 000 to the Mazvihwa community near Zvishavane as part of its corporate social responsibilty.
Murowa helped electrify Baradzanwa Primary School, installed a water reticulation system and drilled a borehole at the school.
It also reconstructed Jimu Bridge which was destroyed by cyclone Dineo induced floods.
Speaking at handover of the infrastructure at Baradzanwa Primary School yesterday, Mines and Mining Development Deputy Minister Engineer Fred Moyo urged Murowa Diamonds to also consider helping Government in setting up Information and Communication Technology centres at local schools.
“We are very grateful as Mazvihwa community. We would want Murowa to also do a pilot ICT project at Baradzanwa Primary School now that we have electricity. Murowa has always been supportive of our community. The mine gave us small grain as food supplement as well as seed. Our neighbouring communities such as Masunda have also received seed and food supplements from Murowa,” he said.
