Deaf College Africa came alive with colour, music, and celebration as Form 4 students marked a milestone at their much-anticipated leavers’ party.
The event was a joyful fusion of pride and reflection, honouring the achievements of learners who have defied odds to excel both socially and academically. School patrons Mr. and Mrs. Charuma, who graced the occasion as Guests of Honour, delivered an inspiring message urging students to uphold discipline, avoid drugs and substance abuse, and remember that Deafness does not limit potential — success, they emphasized, is born of commitment and determination.
Deaf Zimbabwe Trust Executive Director, Ms. B. Nyangairi, joined in celebrating the learners’ resilience, while College Head, Mrs. Rosemary Nyangairi, and her dedicated staff commended the class for being exemplary ambassadors of the school’s vision of academic excellence and professional achievement.
Deaf Champion and Social Worker, Dumisani Nkomo, further encouraged the students to remain focused on education as the gateway to empowerment. Speaking on behalf of his peers, Kelvin Kupeta expressed heartfelt gratitude to the teachers for their guidance, mentorship, and unwavering support.
The event ended in high spirits, punctuated by song, dance, and a sumptuous feast — the much-talked-about “Sapatina Sapatina” meal, symbolizing abundance and celebration befitting the occasion.
