It was a cinderella story come true when Don Bosco Technical College made an indelible mark in the hisory books by scooping a 100% pass rate in its first ever HEXCO examinations in all the 3 courses it offers. The atmosphere was ecstatic as Fr. Chota broke the news to the expectant ears and pumping hearts of the students.

On the 22nd of June we welcomed a new arrival in the community... well... more of a homeward return of someone who is already a part of Don Bosco Hwange - Bro. Simba Oscar Muza. With great joy he commenced his practical training and will hopefully be around for two years, helping in the school, oratory and parish.

To the Salesian Confreres of the Congregation

Dear Confreres,

Now that we have concluded the 26th General Chapter, which was a real Pentecost for all of us, we are ready to experience and celebrate an new event of grace: the 150th anniversary of the foundation by Don Bosco of the Salesian Congregation.

Our world today, as ever before, desperately needs liberation. Today’s headlines are filled with bad news- recurring wars raging around the globe, famines devastating entire countries, environmental catastrophes, natural and man-made disasters, abject poverty holding entire nations in its grip, violent crimes increasing in spite of man’s efforts to deal with them – the litany of tragedies is endless.
