Watawa wampa Mugabe kadi ya birthday, harusi

President Mugabe shares a lighter moment with the Roman Catholic Church’s Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood at State House in Harare yesterday.

EIGHTEEN Roman Catholic nuns from the Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood yesterday paid a courtesy call on President Mugabe to thank him for his contribution in the construction of Sacred Heart Girls High School in Esigodini.

Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood is a grouping of nuns from different countries in Zimbabwe.

Sacred Girls High School, which is still under construction, opened its doors in January this year.

The First Family donated a perimeter fence and financed the construction of a modern-design dormitory to the tune of US$460 000.

Speaking after meeting President Mugabe at State House in Harare, leader of the delegation Sister Maria Veronica Dingi said they shared successes and challenges in the education sector.

“We wanted to say thank you to the President. He donated a hostel for one of our schools that is Sacred High School and we also wanted to discuss with him as stakeholders in the education sector,” she said.

“He is very simple, friendly and easy to talk to. That is why we had to sing songs of gratitude and birthday songs for him in celebration of his birthday he had recently,” Sister Dingi said.

The nuns presented President Mugabe with belated birthday and wedding gifts for her daughter Bona.
