Honoring African traditions

HE CAME HOME AND CHIMOIO WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

A man who scored in a Coupe de France final against PSG. Who graced the pitches of Rennes, Bordeaux and Sporting CP. Who has worn the Mozambique jersey over 75 times. Mexer — Edson André Sitoe— didn't return to a stadium or a press conference. He came to a school. To our children. To Centro Educacional Njerenje in Chimoio, giving birth to Mexer Sitoe e Njerenje Sport Academy. Season of change indeed!

Before a ball was kicked, he sat with the young players and spoke like a brother, not a celebrity:

“Education first — sport is the complement, not the destination."

In a world drowning in distraction, here was a man who had seen everything telling the youth of Chimoio exactly what they needed to hear. Teachers nodded. Children listened.

Then the whistle blew — and Mexer laced up and played, running the same pitch, chasing the same ball, competing with everything he had alongside the very stars he had just inspired. The friendly between sister schools was electric — fast, fierce, tantalising — and at half time Mexer switched sides, giving both teams the honour, because nobody gets left behind here.

Two strikers burned so brightly that Mexer could not walk away without acting. He handed his own personalised signed jersey to the first and his own autographed personal boots to the second — not gifts from a shelf, but his own, given on the spot, because talent this serious deserves to be honoured. That moment said everything about what this Academy is. Mexer — 75+ caps, three AFCONs, Ligue 1 legend, still competing at 37 — is here, in Chimoio, building the next generation. The journey has begun.

“Football is the vehicle. Transformation is the mission."

Engagement at its finest! Today’s parent consultations were a resounding success, filled with productive conversations and shared goals. We appreciate the high level of participation—it truly takes a village! Thank you for being such active partners in your child's education.

Our recent Athletics Sports Day was a massive success! From the first whistle to the final relay, the energy on the field was absolutely electric.
It was a joy to see such incredible sportsmanship, determination, and teamwork from all our participants. Whether you were sprinting for the finish line or cheering from the sidelines, you made the day unforgettable.

Seeing the principles of fluid dynamics and electromagnetic induction jump off the whiteboard and into massive, humming turbines was an absolute game-changer.

Big thanks to EDM Central Hidroelétrica de Chicamba (Divisão de Produção Centro Norte) for showing us how the magic happens. We headed back to school fully charged! 🔋

Happy Father’s Day to Our Incredible School Community!

To all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, and father figures who make up the heart of our school family: Happy Father’s Day!

Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate the vital role you play in your children’s lives. Whether you’re the morning carpool hero, the sideline cheerleader, the late-night homework helper, or the steady hand guiding them through life’s big questions, your impact is immeasurable.

We see the way your support empowers our students to show up as their best selves every day. Thank you for your partnership, your patience, and the endless dedication you show to our school community.

As Doctor Onward Mandebvu, our esteemed principal, always says, “At Njerenje we walk with purpose, we work with purpose’…

If you walk with purpose, you arrive at your desk with your mind already "on." If you work with purpose, you finish your tasks feeling fulfilled rather than drained.

Happy Wednesday to all
