Mr Simeon Mufamadi of Phadziri said the donation would also help to instil a spirit of cooperation between businesspeople and education. “Businesspeople and educators need to develop a good working relationship to restore moral regeneration for the benefit of our children. Teachers need our cooperation as a company to build a strong nation and I urge other companies to support the development of education in their respective villages,” he added
