THEMBA NKATAZO is a name that has become synonymous with selflessness and community service.
Hailing from a modest background in Gava village under Chief Masunda in Zvishavane, Nkatazo’s journey from Sasula Primary School to his current status as a community legend is truly inspiring.
His dedication to the well-being of children in his community is evident through the feeding program he initiated at Chachitsa Secondary School and Sasula Primary School.
Thanks to his efforts, no child in these schools goes hungry, leading to improved attendance and academic performance.
Furthermore, Nkatazo’s establishment of a modern clinic at Sasula shopping centre has been a beacon of hope for the surrounding communities, providing much-needed healthcare services closer to home.
His generosity extends beyond school children and patients, as he also distributes food supplies to the community, ensuring that no household goes hungry.
By providing seed maize during planting seasons, Nkatazo continues to support the community’s agricultural endeavors. In a world where wealth often creates barriers, Nkatazo’s commitment to uplifting others is truly commendable.
Nkatazo stands out from the rest as he is the proud owner of airplanes. He travels from his base in Chinhoyi to the remote lands of Sasula to connect with the locals.
The villagers used to gaze at the tiny planes soaring high in the sky, resembling birds. It was hard for some to fathom that real individuals were aboard those “birds”.
However, thanks to Nkatazo, who has landed his aircraft on the Masunda soils, their doubts were put to rest.
What sets Nkatazo apart is his selflessness. Despite his numerous contributions to the community, he has never sought political leadership or aligned himself with any political party during elections. He remains impartial.
Furthermore, he has never sought media attention to publicize his remarkable deeds.
Unlike certain religious leaders, he has not associated himself with any religious movement to attract followers. Nkatazo is a man who deserves admiration for his extraordinary acts of kindness.
The benevolence of the legendary Nkatazo is not just shocking but a marvel to remember for years to come.
The man is media shy and rarely features in the media.
