School closed over goblin attacks to reopen this year

Zim Now Writer

Mavukaneni Primary School in the Bubi District of Matabeleland North Province, which was closed seven years ago following alleged goblin attacks that haunted teachers and pupils, may reopen soon after the Bubi Rural District Council allocated part of its devolution funds towards the reconstruction of the learning institution.

The community, with the help of Devolution Funds, has so far built and furnished two classroom blocks, fenced off the school and is now working towards completing the teachers’ cottages.

Bubi Rural District Council chief executive officer Patson Mlilo said the reconstruction of the school was their main project after they received an allocation of ZWL$48 million.

The Bubi RDC boss said the school was likely to reopen this year.

“We have furnished the classroom blocks, fenced off the school and now we are buying material to complete the teacher’s cottages which are now at window level,” said Mlilo.
