PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe's wife Dr Grace Mugabe yesterday donated school uniforms and shoes to 500 schoolchildren in Chivi South, bringing to 2 500 the number of vulnerable primary and secondary school pupils in the constituency who have benefited from her benevolence over the past few months.

According to media reports, the donation by the Dr Mugabe was supported by Chivi Rural District Council chair Councillor Killer Zivhu who also donated four tonnes of maize-meal to the elderly, orphans and schoolchildren to mitigate crippling food shortages in the arid district.

Speaking at the handover of the donation, Chivi South, Clr Zivhu paid tribute to the First Family for their readiness to always assist the people of Chivi South.

Clr Zivhu said Zimbabweans were supposed to continue rallying behind Dr Mugabe because of her relentless desire to improve the welfare of vulnerable members of the society in Zimbabwe.

Among the schoolchildren who received uniforms and shoes donated by the First Lady were pupils from Zunga Primary and Neruvanga Secondary School in Chivi South.
