During my school days at PaGejo raRubi Secondary school I used to scoop the cleanliness and smartly dressed award.

WARD 27 NOW A BUFFALO RANGE
I grew up in a humble family in the dusty compounds in Goromonzi.
My childhood friend Prosper was blessed with a bicycle when he celebrated his 10th birthday.
That is when I had a chance to ride a bicycle in my life.
He would come and wake me up as early as 7 O’ clock and we would spent the rest of the day riding the bicycle.
My father later managed to buy his own bicycle and at that time I was already a professional rider, thanks to Prosper.
At Chimowa Primary School 30 Village Heads were gifted with Buffalo bicycles by the Honourable Minister Felix Tapiwa Mhona who is the Member of Parliament for Chikomba East Constituency.
The ceremony saw all Ward 27 Village Heads going back home riding their bicycles.
