Ward 16 (Chikanga 2, Bernwin and Zimta) - Councillor Richard Mupfura
Activities
1.Shandira Zimbabwe
A voluntary cleanup programme is currently ongoing in all wards in Mutare, Shandira Zimbabwe’s goal is cleaning up the environment and instilling in members of the community a sense of responsibility for the upkeep of their areas.
The programme is progressing well in ward 16 and the workdays have been reduced to three times a week-Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Already, communities in ward 16 are much cleaner with rubbish heaps that used to be an eyesore now a thing of the past.
In ward 16 there are currently 500 people, divided into three groups, who are taking part in the initiative. The organisation has also provided netball and soccer balls for recreational purposes.
Community members are also demonstrating their newfound responsibility for their area by strongly reprimanding and punishing people who throw away litter indiscriminately. The programme is ongoing and people in ward 16 meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and work for two hours each day.
