“Stop vandalising state property” - actor

The tendency to vandalize government property such as school buildings, clinics and state-owned vehicles was severely criticized by a well-known local TV actor, Mr Gabriel Temudzani.

He was one of the speakers during the handing-over of school uniforms to about 100 pupils from four Tsianda primary schools during a ceremony at the Mutangwa Manungu Primary School last Saturday.

Temudzani, who plays Vhafuwi vha Thathe in the Tshivenda SABC 2 soapie, Muvhango, appealed to the residents to expose the people who vandalize government property in the name of exercising their democratic rights. During the ceremony, the pupils from Mutangwa Manugu, Mafharalala, Mboswobeni and Tshifhande received school uniforms from the Mighty Tsianda non-profit organization.

One of the founder-members of the organization, Mr Kennedy Mutavhatsindi, said that the event was the beginning of great things to come. He said that his organization would continue to provide uniforms to needy pupils in future, adding that the number of pupils to be catered for would increase from time to time.

According to him they will start looking at high school learners from next year. He further stated that the best-performing pupils in mathematics, physical science and accounting from Gwamasenga High would receive laptops from next year. When outlining the vision and mission of the organization, one of the founder-members, Mr Phanuel Mathonsi, said that all the members of the board of directors were residents of Tsianda who had obtained their primary education at Tsianda-based schools.

A local traditional leader, Thovhele Vho-Vhambelanimaanothavha Netsianda, praised the board members of the organization for their initiative.

Some of the guests who attended the ceremony included actors from Muvhango, Suzan Ravuku (Fheli), Elsie Rasalanavho (Vho-Mukondeleli), Kingsey Ramabulana (Vhangani), Sydney Ramakuwela (Mayor Mulalo Mukwevho) and Humbulani Tharana (Mulimisi).
