Strong winds devastated classroom roofs at Mangondi Primary School in Mwenezi East constituency last Wednesday, affecting nearly one hundred students. ZANU-PF leadership responded by organizing reconstruction efforts for the damaged blocks. The incident occurred during school hours, forcing learners to take shelter under desks as powerful gusts removed roofing materials and cracked walls. School authorities reported this marks the second such disaster since the institution opened in 2001. The community originally constructed these buildings using inexpensive materials after starting with temporary structures.
Legislator Sheilla Chikomo delivered roofing supplies on Saturday to begin repairs ahead of the approaching rainy season. She emphasized the need for permanent, weather-resistant buildings to replace the current substandard structures. School officials requested durable classroom blocks to prevent future weather-related damage. The government allocated funds for constructing 120 new schools this year through multi-sector partnerships. This initiative supports universal access to education under the Vision 2030 development plan.
