RUKARIRO SCHOOL

By Herbert Mutanho

Rukariro, also known as Humayewasikana, is a Methodist school in Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe, located at the southern end of the Humayevasikana Hills, about 27 kilometres from Murehwa District Town and 7 kilometres from the Madicheche Highway (Magunje School). A primary school, it also has a new secondary school 2kilos to the east.

Passing through Rukariro School, from Madicheche Road, is Nyadire Hospital/Mission Road that connects Uzumba to Mutoko via Muswe Village. Rukariro has Chidye as a nearby river that hastwo dams, Chitowa and Magunje Dams, and a rich Tributory called Gwenda. Being a rich Savanna area, Rukariro is also among soils of Gahadzikwa, Mbizi, Kakowa, Chadamoyo, Kagwidzu (where I hail from), Chikuwira, Madziya Matema & Matsvuku, Sasa and Matsive Village.

It is also 2 Kilometres adjascent Chitowa Farms. The Rich soils that was occupied by successfull white farmers, to name one : Muganga and other black Farmers namely Magwere https://www.google.com/search?q=magunje+uzumba+maramba+pfungwe&client=firefox-b-d&channel=trow&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjKqJTdtubhAhW-QxUIHdC8D78Q_AUIDygC&biw=1366&bih=654#imgrc=jN2Fyj9xbOdbgM:, Kure, Chitsveta, Gunda and many more. when you really think of natural and rich savanna environments, I challenge you to vist Rukariro. We have so many Hills full of natural fruits and non dangerous animals except snakes.

it is among the bushy fields that has a lot insect honeys and rich natural tress like Munhondo, Muphuti, Mushamba, Mutoto, Mutsvedzambira and many more rich species of wild trees. Natural fruit tress like Munhengeni, Mutufu, Mugoriyondo, Muguzuberi, Mutunduru, Mushenje, Muhacha, Mutsambatsi, Muzhanje and a thousand more natural fruit trees of Savanna.

Rukariro was established early in 1930s or 40s by white settlers and has survived with quite a number of excellent headmasters, some of them I know are mr Madawo, and Mr Chimbwanda, Mr Chiwenga and the new ones that I dont know. We had strong, dedicated and experienced teachers. Cambridge was our syllubus and was a powerful one in the world. Rukariro has produced a lot of intellectuals and some are rich businessmen in and around the world. Rukariro has produced atheletes and soccer players. very talented as they were, they lacked sponsorship due to less acces to the powerhoyuses of Zimbabwe. THE REMOTENESS OF RUKARIRO LOCATION IS one of the contributing factor to less access in the world today. One o the reason why today at this juncture I am the one creating an Encyclopedia for Rukariro.

800m to the south is a township with growthpoint level shops which supply villagers and teachers aorund. It was originally Dominated by Mr Mandebvu of Mandebvu Stores, Mr P Chinherera of Chinherera Stores, Mr Gwati and Mr Rovha who was running a successful and so helpful Grinding Meal. I so love my Rukariro. And I pray it develops to a best place.

A few metres towards Gwenda River we have United Methodist Church that is builty on Rocky Fountation. There is alot of rocks around and its a place, like other rocky areas in UMP, where you expect to see scorpions, lizards, ghekos, snakes and many more rock creatures. Birds fly up and every second and the sound that dominates the atmosphere is that natural thats comes out sweet from the beaks of different types of Savanna Birds. Frog songs are also a contributing melody adding to that of bulls and cows that bellow from green grazing areas and nearby bushes.
