October 15, 2012

The National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) Western Region held its elective Annual General Meeting last Friday (12/10/2012) which saw a number of civic activists assuming different leadership positions.

Matabeleland Constitutional Reform Agenda Director Effie Ncube who was the treasurer in the former board assumed chairmanship of the regional board uncontested.

Ncube shall be deputized by Women Institute for Leadership Development director Ms Samukeliso Khumalo who is very passionate about gender equality issues.

Another new face in the regional board is that of Mr. Vumani Ndlovu who heads an organization that is passionate about development of rural communities and equal access to national resources. Ndlovu replaced Anglistone Sibanda of Shaloam Project Trust.

Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association programs manager assumed the post of Vice Secretary of the board while Victoria Falls based Sethulo Mdlalose replaced the new chairperson on the treasury portfolio.

The outgoing board was elected into office in 2009 and the elections were held in line with the NANGO constitution that compels the organization to hold elections once every three years.

In order to ensure representation of all sectors in the new board, organizations belonging to same clusters broke into groups to second representatives to the board.

Seven clusters were identified and these were the Youth, Health and HIV, Arts and Culture, and Children who were represented in the new board by Dumisani Dube, Gloria Dube, Joshua Nyampimbi and Nosihle Ndlovu respectively.

Justice Zvaita, Polite Ndlovu and Anne Malinga were seconded to the board to represent the Environment, Humanitarian and Disability sectors respectively.

Outgoing Chairman Mr. Godwin Phiri wished well the incoming team and urged them to ensure that they expand the scope of the NANGO western region to Matabeleland provinces.

Bulawayo Agenda congratulates the new board in assuming leadership and responsibility positions. The organization hopes the new team will work hard in championing the issues of the region for the benefit of the people of the broader western region.

Bulawayo Agenda bids fair well to the outgoing board for their contribution to the development of the region. We also congratulate the new board and urge the elected officers to take the region to another level.
