WARD 11 | FIRST FRIDAY — FROM NATIONAL CALL TO LOCAL ACTION

A clean, safe and resilient community is built by people who show up.

Today, Ward 11 came together in Mkhosana for a multi-stakeholder community cleanup led by Councillor George Mhlanga, as part of Zimbabwe’s First Friday National Clean-Up Programme.

The monthly programme, established as a national call for collective environmental responsibility, designates the first Friday of every month for communities and institutions to take practical action towards cleaner and healthier surroundings.

But national programmes only become meaningful when they are translated into action where people live.

That is the significance of today’s exercise.

Residents, stakeholders and community structures came together not simply to remove litter, but to reinforce an important principle:

Environmental responsibility begins with us.

As Victoria Falls and communities across Zimbabwe contend with changing environmental conditions and climate-related risks, maintaining clean surroundings, protecting drainage systems, managing waste responsibly and caring for shared public spaces are increasingly matters of community resilience — not merely matters of appearance.

Today’s action therefore speaks to a bigger objective:

building a culture of responsibility rather than waiting for someone else to act.

For Ward 11, this means encouraging residents to become active participants in the condition and future of their own neighbourhood.

And it means local leadership being visible beyond meetings and offices — present in the community, working with residents and helping turn collective responsibility into practical action.

Councillor Mhlanga’s participation today reflects the importance of connecting local leadership with the everyday realities experienced by residents.

A mandate is not a destination.
It is a responsibility.

The work of building a cleaner, safer and more resilient Ward 11 continues — through partnerships, community participation and consistent action.

FIRST FRIDAY.
WARD 11.
COMMUNITY IN ACTION.

EDUCATION IS A DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY FOR WARD 11

Ward 11 Councillor’s Office Engages Hwange District Education Leadership

14 September 2026 | 14:00–15:00

The future of Ward 11 is being shaped in our schools today.

The Office of the Ward 11 Councillor today held a constructive engagement with Mr L.H. Matshazi, Hwange District Schools Inspector, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration around education, learner development and academic performance in Ward 11.

The engagement was led by Cllr George Mhlanga, Ward 11 Councillor, together with Mr Austine Tshuma, Secretary for Education in the Ward 11 Councillor’s Office, and Mr F. Moyo, Schools Inspector.

STRENGTHENING EDUCATION THROUGH COLLABORATION

The meeting provided an important platform for the Ward Office and District Education authorities to engage on the educational landscape in Ward 11 and explore areas where stronger collaboration can contribute towards better outcomes for learners.

Among the key areas discussed were:

- Strengthening collaboration between the Ward 11 Office and District Education authorities;
- Supporting education programmes and initiatives within Ward 11;
- Exploring ways to contribute towards improved learner performance and academic outcomes;
- Strengthening support for schools, educators and learners; and
- Ensuring that education remains firmly positioned within the broader development agenda of Ward 11.

Mr Matshazi welcomed the engagement and acknowledged the efforts being made by the Ward 11 Councillor’s Office in supporting education-related programmes and initiatives.

He expressed his support for continued collaboration between the District Education Office and the Ward 11 Office, recognising the value of coordinated engagement in addressing educational priorities within the community.

SIX SCHOOLS. ONE SHARED FUTURE.

Ward 11 is served by six schools:

1. Shalom Primary School
2. Grace Mission Primary School
3. Grace Mission Secondary School
4. Kings Primary School
5. St Josephine Bakhita Primary School
6. Lulu Secondary School

These schools represent more than places of learning.

They are where the future of Ward 11 is being prepared.

Every classroom represents an opportunity. Every learner represents potential. Every educator plays a role in shaping the next generation.

For this reason, the Ward 11 Councillor’s Office believes that education must be treated as a core development priority alongside the broader social, economic and infrastructure needs of the Ward.

FROM ENGAGEMENT TO ACTION

Effective community development requires more than identifying challenges. It requires bringing the right institutions and stakeholders together, establishing constructive relationships and continuously pursuing practical opportunities for improvement.

The Ward 11 Councillor’s Office will continue engaging relevant education authorities, schools, educators, parents, community organisations and other stakeholders to better understand the needs of learners and schools and identify opportunities for meaningful support.

The objective is clear:

Better collaboration.
Stronger educational support.
Improved learner outcomes.
Greater opportunities for the young people of Ward 11.

The Office recognises that educational transformation is not achieved through a single meeting or intervention. It requires consistency, partnership and sustained commitment.

That work must therefore continue.

INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION

The development of Ward 11 cannot be measured only by infrastructure and basic services.

It must also be measured by the quality of opportunities we create for our children and young people.

A child who receives a quality education today is better positioned to become tomorrow’s professional, entrepreneur, skilled worker, community leader, innovator or contributor to the local economy.

When we invest in education, we invest in the future of Ward 11.

The Office of the Ward 11 Councillor remains committed to building constructive partnerships that place the interests of learners and the broader community at the centre of its engagement with stakeholders.

THE FUTURE OF WARD 11 STARTS WITH OUR CHILDREN.

WARD 11 COMMUNITY UPDATE | LISTENING WHERE IT MATTERS

Yesterday, 9 September 2026, I spent the day in our schools.

Together with Austine Tshuma, Secretary for Education in the Office of the Ward 11 Councillor, I visited five schools across Mkhosana Ward 11 — Shalom Primary School, Grace Mission Primary School, Grace Mission Secondary School, Kings Primary School and St Josephine Bakhita Primary School.

This was more than a courtesy visit.

It was a listening visit.

As a new Ward leadership, we believe that before we can speak about solutions, we must first understand the realities our institutions and our communities are facing.

At every school, we were welcomed openly and given an opportunity to listen to the people entrusted with educating our children.

And there is much to listen to.

We heard about water challenges. Electricity and service costs. School registration. Security and damaged fencing. Trespassing. Livestock entering school premises. The difficulty of sustaining income-generating projects. Limited resources for sport. And learners whose families are struggling to meet examination fees.

Different schools. Different circumstances.

But one common thread runs through all of them:

Our schools are doing their best with the resources they have.

That deserves recognition.

It also deserves leadership.

A school is more than a building where lessons take place. It is where our children spend some of their most formative years. It is where confidence is built, talent is discovered and futures begin to take shape.

When a school has no reliable water, when its perimeter is compromised, when electricity becomes a burden, or when a child risks missing an examination because of circumstances beyond their control — those are not distant problems. They are Ward 11 problems.

Our responsibility is therefore to understand them properly and work with the right institutions and partners to address what can be addressed.

We are not going to promise instant solutions to problems that require broader institutional intervention.

But we can promise something within our control:

We will listen. We will document. We will engage. We will follow up. And where there is an opportunity for the Ward to play a role, we will do so.

Yesterday's visit is therefore not the end of a process.

It is the beginning of a conversation.

The information gathered will guide our continued engagement with Council, school authorities, Government departments, community stakeholders and potential partners as we work towards improving the environment in which our children learn.

To the leadership and staff of all five schools, thank you for opening your doors and sharing your realities with us.

To the parents, guardians and residents of Ward 11, your children's future is a shared responsibility.

A better Ward is built when leadership listens, communities participate and institutions work together.

We have begun by listening.

Now comes the work.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY OF FAITH, FELLOWSHIP AND COMMUNITY

Today, Sunday 6 September 2026, Cllr George Mhlanga had the pleasure of joining the ELCZ Victoria Falls Parish for the official opening celebrations of its beautiful new church.

Presided over by Bishop Dube, the celebration brought together clergy, church elders, community leaders, members of the congregation, visitors and friends of the Parish. It was a joyful day, filled with thanksgiving, fellowship and a genuine sense of community.

The new church is a wonderful achievement for the ELCZ family, and a reminder of what can happen when people come together with faith, commitment and a shared vision.

As the Bible reminds us:

«“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain.” — Psalm 127:1»

Cllr Mhlanga expressed his appreciation for being part of such an important occasion:

“It was a privilege to celebrate this special day with the ELCZ Victoria Falls Parish. This is more than a beautiful new church; it is a place where people will come together, find strength, raise families, share in one another's joys and sorrows, and continue to serve our community. We congratulate the entire congregation on this wonderful achievement.”

For Ward 11, occasions like this are important because community is built not only through infrastructure, but through the people and institutions that bring us together.

The Office of the Ward 11 Councillor warmly congratulates Bishop Dube, the clergy, elders and the entire ELCZ Victoria Falls Parish.

May God bless this new sanctuary, the congregation that calls it home, and all who will pass through its doors.

A beautiful day for the ELCZ family.
A beautiful day for Victoria Falls.

🇿🇼 WARD 11 COMMUNITY UPDATE

MKHOSANA ANSWERED THE CALL. THE PEOPLE DELIVERED.

4 September 2026 | Office of the Ward 11 Councillor – George Mhlanga

This morning, something extraordinary happened in Mkhosana.

As the clock struck 8:00 AM, Ward 11 came alive. Streets, open spaces and neighbourhoods were filled with residents carrying gloves, bin liners and a shared determination to build a cleaner, healthier and more beautiful community.

This was not just another clean-up. It was a movement of community pride.

Responding to the First Friday National Clean-Up Campaign initiated by His Excellency, President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, the people of Ward 11 stood together to protect Victoria Falls — our home, our heritage and our legacy.

133 RESIDENTS. ONE PURPOSE.

An incredible 133 residents participated in today's campaign. Grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, young people and children all came together, proving that Mkhosana is strongest when its people move as one.

Because Ward 11 is one of the largest wards in Victoria Falls, the clean-up was carried out simultaneously across five strategic community zones:

- Mfelandawonye Ground — led by Discovery Juniors FC.
- Mfelandawonye Site — led by Mfelandawonye residents.
- Booster Area — led by Smart Corner residents and the Roman Catholic community.
- ZCC Site — led by Garikai and King's Side residents.
- BC847 — led by BC847 residents.

Every corner of Ward 11 became a centre of action.

LEADERSHIP THAT WORKS WITH THE PEOPLE

Councillor George Mhlanga did not lead from behind a desk. He was on the ground, walking alongside residents, listening, encouraging and participating throughout the exercise.

This is leadership that believes development begins with people, unity and visible action.

Even when the ward experienced shortages of bin liners and protective gloves during the morning, residents refused to stop. Their commitment was greater than the challenges.

MKHOSANA IS SETTING THE STANDARD

Today's success sends a clear message: Ward 11 is a community that cares. We are building clean streets, healthier neighbourhoods, safer spaces for our children and a welcoming environment for families, businesses and visitors to Victoria Falls.

To every volunteer, church member, youth team, resident and community leader — thank you. Your hands cleaned our community, but your spirit strengthened Ward 11.

«"The future of Mkhosana is built by the people of Mkhosana. Together we will continue to make Ward 11 a model community for Victoria Falls."

TO THE FAMILIES OF MKHOSANA AND VICTORIA FALLS

This has been an incredibly difficult week for our community.

We have seen one funeral after another. We have watched families bury fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters — people whose presence meant something to someone, and whose absence has now left a space that words cannot fill.

There is a particular kind of pain that comes when a community loses so many of its own in such a short space of time.

And yet, even in the midst of this sadness, I have been deeply moved by what I have seen.

People have been there for people.

Neighbours have stood beside neighbours. Friends have carried one another through difficult days. Families have opened their doors. People have contributed what they could, travelled to be present, prayed together, comforted one another and simply sat with those who were hurting.

Sometimes, we forget how powerful that is.

You cannot take away someone's grief. You cannot bring back the person they have lost. But you can make sure they do not have to carry that grief alone.

That is the meaning of community.

To every family that has lost a loved one, please accept my deepest and most heartfelt condolences.

As your Councillor, but more importantly as a fellow member of this community, I mourn with you.

May God give every bereaved family strength for the days ahead. May He comfort those whose hearts are broken, and may the memories of those we have lost remain a source of love and strength.

And to everyone who has stood up for a neighbour, attended a funeral, helped a family, offered a prayer, made a contribution, provided transport, prepared a meal, or simply showed up — thank you.

You reminded us of something important this week:

In our darkest moments, we still have each other.

May we never lose that.

May the souls of all those we have lost rest in eternal peace. 🕊️
