ZIPRA mobilises fees for underprivileged pupils

ZIMBABWE People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) ex-combatants have launched a trust fund to raise fees for underprivileged pupils in all parts of the country.

The ex-fighters said the money would be mobilised under the Lalangwe, Mbambangwe Memorial Trust, which was launched last year in honour of the late Vice-President Joshua Nkomo (pictured).

The trust’s chairperson, Linganiso Mdabuko Nyathi, told Southern Eye the programme was aimed at complementing government’s social welfare programmes such as the Basic Education Assistance Module (Beam).
