The Chinese government on Tuesday handed over furniture and goodies worth thousands of dollars to Hombiro Clinic in Uzumba North Constituency.

The clinic was built by the community with the assistance of Commissioner-General of the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services Retired Major-General Paradzai Zimondi.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Huang Ping, said Rtd Major-General Zimondi had always supported China-Zimbabwe relations and when he requested for assistance from the Embassy, they intervened. "Commissioner-General Zimondi has maintained sound co-operation with our Embassy and rendered great support to China-Zimbabwe relations," he said.

"As far as we know, he has always cared about the development of his hometown and taken people's livelihood close to his heart. "That is when he approached us and told us about the clinic that needs donation of furniture, we immediately decided to extend a helping hand to the best of our ability without hesitation."
