Scott Sakupwanya wants people to train as nurse aides through his Skills Development Trust. He shared this news on X yesterday. Sakupwanya serves as both Scottland FC President and member of Parliament for Mabvuku-Tafara. The Zanu PF politician runs a two-month program starting April 22. Participants will learn at different health centers across the area.
Students will practice at local hospitals, including Council facilities in Mabvuku-Tafara, Chitungwiza Polyclinic, Army medical centers, and Scottland Hospital. The training covers basic healthcare tasks like caring for patients, simple medical steps, talking with sick people, keeping things clean, and helping patients at home. Anyone who wants to apply can call 0784 589 830 or go straight to Mabvuku Hall for details. He never said if people must pay fees to take part.
Many people reacted differently when they heard about his plan. Some praised Sakupwanya for helping create skills in his community. Others criticized him harshly. These critics said his party damaged the economy, leaving people desperate for any job. Someone named Tafadzwa called it sad that an MP thinks training people for "menial jobs" counts as progress. Another person wondered if graduates would actually find work locally.
Several supporters defended the program as helpful. One person said Sakupwanya "does something for the community" unlike others. Another called it "pure community development" that helps young people gain skills. Someone else praised him as "a good honourable" deserving blessings. These comments show how divided people feel about the program's real purpose and benefits.
The mixed opinions reflect bigger questions about Zimbabwe's current situation. Some see the nurse aide program as genuine help during hard times. Critics view it as a small solution to massive problems the government helped create. Either way, Sakupwanya moves forward with his plans to train healthcare workers starting later this month. The debate continues about whether such programs truly address the root causes of Zimbabwe's challenges.
