]]>I’m all for renaming stuff but some ideas should remain just that…ideas!
Now the concept of renaming institutions after own heroes is noble, some institutions’ history must also be preserved, else how do we know where we are going, if we don’t know where we are coming from, but the list (below) just doesn’t end there, some of the proposed names are also puzzling.
Oriel Boys is set to be renamed Highlands Boys and Oriel girls, you guessed it HighlandsGirls, what is really the purpose of this, if I may ask?
In all high-density suburbs where schools normally have the same name the only difference being the digit at the end, for example, Kuwadzana No 1, only the ones with a will retain the previous names without the digit, the rest will be renamed.
Let’s also look at the costs involved with this idea, both to the schools and the community.
Imagine the prestigious Prince Edward, which over the years has received perks based on its name will have to settle for ‘Murenga Boys’
An easier option would be to build new schools and give them names, don’t you think, what do you make of this name change?

The uncertainty surrounding the issue of schools reopening made people fall for WhatsApp messages stating that schools were not being reopened.
However, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Nick Mangwana deferred those claims saying that the government is still to issue an official statement on the matter.
View his tweet below:
We have taken note of messages circulating on the WhatsApp platform alleging that the President has deferred the opening of schools by two weeks. That is not correct. Should there be a change regarding the opening of schools, Govt will make a formal announcement.
