CHIVI-Member of Parliament for Chivi North Godfrey Huruva Mukungunungwa aka Chibaba has built a 2 roomed flat for an octogenarian couple from Gondo village in ward 5 under Chief Madyangove.
Esther Sithole and her husband identified as Dangwe or Mastaira only said they are over 80 years old, were living in a small, dilapidated house that leaked during the rainy season.
The two roomed flat was handed over to the couple last Monday at a colourful ceremony attended by local traditional leaders, councillors and tens of villagers.
Chibaba’s generosity has transformed their lives, providing them with a safe and comfortable home.
Mukungunugwa also donated food and initiated a project to support the couple with 50 chicks.
Esther Sithole expressed her deepest gratitude to the MP for his generosity.
“We were living in a house that was falling apart, and also suffering from hunger, but now, thanks to Honourable Mukungunugwa, we are now living a far much better life. We are so grateful for the groceries and the support he has given us and he has promised to continue to assist us with income generating projects,” said Sithole.
Chibaba urged the community to come together and support one another, especially the most vulnerable members. He has also urged headsmen to visit their villagers and identify those in need, so that the community and leadership can come together and lend a hand.
Grey Zimanyiwa, village head Gondo applauded the MP for the good gesture which has gone a long way in uplifting the octogenarian couple.
“Honourable Mukungunugwa’s kindness is a shining example of what it means to serve others. We are grateful for his leadership and his soft heart for our community,” said Zimanyiwa.
The couple live with their grandchild and all their children suffer from mental illnesses and they don’t stay with them.
