GWERU, 6 MAY 2026 -Once again Kwekwe Polytechnic has made a name for itself after taking part in the Midlands Province Skills Fair which was coordinated by the Ministry of Skills Audit and Development. Participants came from across the divide from the 8 administrative districts which forms up the Midlands Province. The Academia and the general populace from both rural and urban communities formed up the participants who battled out for recognition in 5 categories namely; Smart Agriculture, Creative Arts, STEM and Technical and Vocational Education sector. Other liked-minded institutions from our sector included Gweru Polytechnic, Midlands State University and Zvishavane Vocational Training Centre amongst other institutions and individuals. Kwekwe Polytechnic show-cased a number of ground breaking innovations which not only impressed the judges, but the Guest of Honour as well. Ultimately, Kwekwe Polytechnic clinched 4 awards in form of shields and certificates with 3 of them being in the Smart Agriculture category and the other one from the Tech-Voc Category. These included; The Crop monitoring System (First Position), the Boom Spray (2nd Position), the Planter (3rd Position) and the Hand Operated feed mixer which won the 3rd Position in a different category (Tech-Voc). Speaking during the Official Awards Ceremony, Dr Matorera, Chief Director in the Ministry of Skills Audit and Development who stood in for the Permanent Secretary underscored the need and importance of identifying talents even amongst the vulnerable groups in our communities and support them as the nation is in a bid to bridge the critical skills gap. He said it is through such skills and innovations that we will be able to industrialise and transform lives of our people by the year 2030. Winners at this Fair will be summon for a National Skills Fair scheduled to take place in October 2026 in the Capital City of Harare where winners from 9 other Provinces will battle for the top awards.

Did you Know

Being an IT Expert, Davidzo Nyoni is a Lecturer at Kwekwe Polytechnic. In her, we see a rare and scarce skill which used to be possessed only by our yesteryear mothers. The way she meticulously handles hand knits and crotchet is amazing. A now scarce talent and skill indeed. This gives her a competitive urge through her original hand knitted products such as jerseys, scarfs, toys, hands, hand bags and many more. Ms Nyoni is a typical woman spoken of in Proverbs 31. One who works up early in the morning and uses her skill all for the glory herself and those around her. She is also partaking at the Midlands Skills fair competing with other experts in her trade. Ms Nyoni is recording fairly good sales as many people take practical steps to prepare for the forthcoming winter which is suspected to be record-breaking

The program featured an overview of the FORT initiative, practical demonstrations of fire extinguishers, and student participation in demonstrating their understanding.
