A MWENEZI family with four physically challenged children
is set to have a proper home of their own after they received 30 000 bricks to
construct a house, pledge to build the house and blankets.
Born physically challenged, Nhamo, Isheanesu, Rabison
Gonamombe and Richard Muchamiri struggle to move from one place to another and
they cannot cater for their own needs.
The Killer Zivhu Foundation last Thursday donated the
building material and will ensure the house is built under the foundation’s
aegis at their rural home in Mwenezi East.
The four physically challenged children live with their
mother – Dzosai Chihota. The foundation founder and MP for Chivi South Killer
Zivhu said he had been touched by the video of the four children which
circulated on social media and he decided to assist them financially.
“I was approached by many people after they watched the
video on social media, some even tagged me on my social media pages. That’s how
I got to know about their situation and I decided to help.
“I was also helped to be where I am today, hence helping
others has been part of my life,” Zivhu said.
Zivhu is appealing to the government to give him a farm
where he could build a home for the less fortunate as well as a school where
the less privileged could go to school while farm produce would contribute to the
bulk of their food.
“If I manage to get a farm I could take these disadvantaged
children to one place where they would also attend school and live from the
farm produce.
“With enough land the Killer Zivhu Foundation would be
bigger and better,” said Zivhu.
Zivhu pleaded with fellow Zimbabweans to help in
constructing the house for the Mwenezi family.
“If we join hands, the house will be constructed in a short
period of time. These people need our help,” he added.
Chihota was grateful. “I struggle to take care of these children own my own since
their father passed on.
“I do everything for them and I can’t even travel or go to
the fields because someone is supposed to take care of them always.
“Now that people are coming to help, the burden has been
made lighter,” she said.
Mwenezi East District Administrator Rosemary Chingwe
explained how she got to know about the family’s situation.
“(One) Taruvinga Shumba is the one who called and informed
me about the issue and I then visited the place and recorded a video which went
viral.
“The video strategy helped because some were moved and they
are helping the family for instance the Rotary Club which donated wheelchairs,”
Chingwe said.
Chingwe said Zivhu was the only Member of Parliament who
had helped the family so far.
