Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Villagers in Ward 5, Insiza South, have come together to gift a motorbike to their councillor, Ngobe Masonga, in a show of community support and solidarity.
As reported by CITE, the motorbike was officially presented to Councillor Masonga on Wednesday at a ceremony held at Sidzibe Centre.
Before receiving the motorbike, Councillor Masonga had been relying on a bicycle for his travels, often missing important events and struggling with the long distances between villages.
Ward 5 is made up of ten villages: Mbabala, Somthoba, Sababa, Thandabantu, Qhubekani, Mabuze, Atherstone, Dandabagwa A and B, and Shakwe.
Councillor Masonga said the new mode of transport would improve both his safety and efficiency. He said:
Ward 5 was created through delimitation. It has more than 1 500 homesteads and 40 village heads.
This motorbike will allow me to reach all villages, attend funerals, and make it to district council meetings on time. It ensures I am available whenever villagers need me.
This gesture shows that our community is committed to working together towards a common goal. I am grateful and look forward to continuing our collective efforts.
I missed a lot because I was using a bicycle. Now that I have a motorbike, I feel much safer.
