The development-oriented legislator, Mhuri engaged partner and sourced up to $5 000 worth of resources used for the repairing of borehole in all the needy wards.
“Thank you, MP Mhuri you have demonstrated how, a good leaders should lead. You are a people’s leader with people at heart,” said Pascar Mhofu from Clarans Farm.
Villagers from Dorset Resettlement area, Tafara Mubereki and Stella Muhle said were impressed by the calibre of the current Member of Parliament.
“The MP went into different wards and conscientized people to participate in developmental issues of their constituency instead of waiting for government and council to do it for them. Hence, he led by example by embracing the Public Private Partnership approach that happened to bear fruits. People now have water close to their vicinity, it’s quite commendable,” said Mubereki.
The humble MP thanked people from all benefited wards for their voluntary gesture that resulted in their actively participation during the borehole repairing program.

In a telephone interview, community development activist and Khayelihle Rural library secretary Nkosilathi Sayi applauded the legislator Mhuri for ensuring availability of water.
“His beginning is good; he however should not end there but should go further and work towards sustainable management of the availed water in order to ensuring safe water and sanitation for all, “said Sayi.
The defunct Dorset development Association member who declined to be identified MP Mhuri should as well train all those volunteers and see to it that they are active in maintaining of the repaired boreholes and ensuring water sources are clean.
