Blessings Chidakwa in Kadoma
Villagers and stakeholders in Mhondoro-Ngezi are appealing for Government to relocate officials who are still operating from Kadoma.

Mhondoro-Ngezi Rural District Council was established in 2007.

All Government departments, including lands, Agritex, women’s affairs, mines, education and social welfare were all still operating from Kadoma.

The stakeholders, including Government officials, traditional and political leaders called for the speedy relocation of the officials who are operating about 150km away from the district.

Speaking at a recent district stakeholders meeting at Turf, Chief Nyika said it was a pity that the district offices were still in Kadoma, more than a decade after it was formed. “It is a shame that our Government district offices are still in Kadoma, worse still the office that our district administrator is occupying is so small and does not befit her stature,” he said.

Councillor Phillimon Ndushu weighed in saying the community was losing out on crucial Government programmes as they were failing to access district heads due to the distance between them.

“Considering the recently hiked transport fees, it is expensive for us to commute to Kadoma regularly to access Government offices. As part of ease of doing business and on behalf of the community, we appeal for the relocation of Government offices from Kadoma to Mhondoro-Ngezi which is where the people are,” he said.
