The four MPs were Cdes Justice Mayor Wadyajena (Gokwe-Nembudziya), Torerayi Moyo (Gokwe-Chireya), Steven Ngwenya (Gokwe-Gumunyu) and Leonard Chikomba (Gokwe-Kabuyuni).

Community leaders including Headman Nembudziya and Headman Makore both under Chief Chireya, and senior Government officials, attended the function.
