Savanhu donates to the elderly

over groceries to 51 households made up of the elderly, people living with HIV and Aids, orphans and the vul­nerable living at Matapi Hostels in Mbare.

The foodstuffs included mealie-meal, cooking oil, sugar, soap and kapenta.
The donation is a result of an ini­tiative spearheaded by Cde Savanhu to provide basic necessities to needy peo­ple in Mbare.

“The programme is meant to assist the needy people in Mbare after we realised that there are a number of households with eld­erly persons, oth­ers living with HIV and Aids and orphans that are failing to fend for them­selves,” he said.

“After we identified the households we then sourced these grocery items and we intend to take it to all the 12 political districts we have in Mbare as a party.”
Cde Savanhu said at least 600 house­holds would benefit under the pro­gramme. Cde Savanhu visited each house­hold accompanied by Pastor Alwyn Bizure of Adonnai Ministries who prayed for the sick.

In an interview, Pastor Bizure com­mended Cde Savanhu and the Zanu-PF leadership in Mbare for putting God’s word into practice by assisting the dis­advantaged groups in soci­ety.

“This gesture by Cde Savanhu shows Zanu-PF has God-fearing lead­ership that are obedient and vision­ary,” he said.
“Even the Bible says blessed is he who has regard for the poor, and what we are witness­ing today is a fulfilment of that.”

One of the beneficiaries Ms Mati­rasa Mudzivari thanked the Zanu-PF lead­ership for the gesture.
“I want to thank Cde Savanhu and the party (Zanu-PF) for remembering us in our time of need and just hope that they continue doing the good work,” she said.
