It broke my heart to read that some families still have their relatives unaccounted for following the devastating Cyclone Idai that ravaged Chimanimani and Chipinge in March 2019.

Congrats to all excelling learners Congratulations to all learners who came out with flying colours in the Zimsec November 2023 examinations. There is room for improvement for schools that did not produce top grades.
