11.30. RECOMMENDATIONS
Education: There is need to increase the number of ‘A’ level schools in the
constituency. The constituency has only four ‘A’ level schools in wards; 1, 12,
21 and 23. An increase in the number of ‘A’ levels will help the pupils to go
further than the ordinary secondary level. There is also need to introduce
secondary schools in wards; 15, 18, 22, 25, 26 and 27. The constituency has
several schools which has more girls enrolled. This is commendable and this
should be upheld according all children equal opportunities in education
irregardless of gender.
Gender Representation in Councils: The urban wards have 3 female councilors
representing 11% of the total seat belonging to women. The rural council
seats are dominated by male councilors. The way forward is to introduce the
quota system as envisaged by the SADC Declaration on Gender and amending
of by-laws so that more women can be motivated to become councilors and to
increase awareness amongst women so that they participate in politics.

Hospitals/Clinics: Although health facilities are evenly distributed in the
constituency, there is need to introduce a couple of hospitals to assist the few rural
hospitals that are present in the wards.
Communications: There are only 3 post offices in the whole constituency. This
number is not sufficient, thus there is need to establish more Post Offices in the
wards.
