BULILIMA West lawmaker Dingumuzi Phuti (Zanu PF) has turned to the diaspora community to help assist with resources to build a secondary school and a clinic in the Zuzaphi area in his constituency.
Phuti said learners and patients faced attacks by wild animals as they walked long distances to attend school and to seek health services.
“As their leader, I engaged the diaspora community and the rural district council in order to build a secondary school and a clinic,” he said.
“Currently, both the school and the clinic are under construction and I have been supervising the projects.”
Phuti said the nearest school and clinic was located at least 20km away.
“Once the school and the clinic are completed, the residents will be happy to have social services near them,” he said.
“This would protect children from being attacked by wild animals as they no longer have to travel through bushes when going to school like before.”
Phuti said they had also availed solarised boreholes around the area so that residents have access to clean water.
