Chivi Rural District Council chairperson Councillor Killer Zivhu was yesterday conferred with an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by the International Institute of Philanthropy in recognition of the work he has been carrying out that has helped many communities.
Clr Zivhu joins luminaries like music superstar Oliver Mtukudzi, United Family International Church's Prophetess Ruth Makandiwa, Mrs Isabel Chihuri, wife to Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri, Avenues Clinic managing director Mrs Merissa Kambarami and Pastor Ruth Musarurwa of Christ Embassy, who recently received similar honorary degrees from the institute.
Speaking after conferring Clr Zivhu with the honorary degree, Philanthropy Institute of Zimbabwe president Dr Enrico Sibanda said he deserved the doctorate because of his works.
Mr Sibanda said Clr Zivhu was helping meet people's needs in various sectors.
Dr Sibanda said the institute would confer honorary doctorates of humane letters to 43 other hard working Zimbabweans this year.
Speaking after receiving the honorary degree, Clr Zivhu said he grew up being taught to share the little he had.
"I would want to acknowledge that there have been some people following the work that I am doing and I did not know that the work is very important to an extent of getting an honorary PHD," he said.
"This is not for me, this is for the community that I have worked with and all Zimbabweans who participated.
"We shall continue with the good work," he said.
