I am a Councillor for Ward 29 in Bulawayo which covers Magwegwe North, West, part of Lobengula West and part of Intemba Drive. When I came to office everything was upside down and I had to start from scratch. The most challenge of them all was that there was no money and the municipality took time to dollarize. Sewage was flowing all over unattended and I had to turn my house into a call centre where people could come anytime to leave messages on sewage bursts and residential numbers of affected areas. I had to make sure that I made some serious follow ups with the sewage department to resolve all the peopleâ € ™s problems concerning sewage in ward 29. All major roads in my ward had pot holes throughout and I pressurised the Engineering Services Department to patch them and I was successful. The roads section came and patched up the postholes. The Konron-Magwegwe road got a major face lift (it was redone). As a Councillor I sourced five boreholes for the following; Masotsha High school, Mazwi primary school, two for Magwegwe West shopping centre, and also sourced fences for gardens and Lobengula west. The most memorable experience in my work was when I donated wheel chairs to the following groups, one to Magwegwe clinic for patients, another to an elderly person and two wheel chairs to two disabled children. The time I donated food hampers to the elderly residents above the age of seventy years, the joy that showed on their faces humbled me and gave me a sense of humility that I may be able to serve others with the little resources available to me. The food hampers which are distributed every year, after I have sourced for them. I value the residents of my ward and will continue giving them the support they need.
