Murahwa’s Hill is a natural conservation area of 153 acres of great biodiversity entrusted to the NTZ by the Mutare City Council.
The newly built frontage perimeter wall put in by Jackson Njunga is looking strong and secure.
Everyone is excited and very much looking forward to the opening of the long awaited interpretative, /education centre, toilets and a new perimeter fence at Murawha’s Hill. The property was always dearly supported by the late Helen Hyslop who joined the Council in 1993: her dedication to the NTZ was exemplary.
The ‘Helen Hyslop Fund’ was created at the bequest from the Hyslop Estate. The fund is to assist in building the new interpretative, education centre in honour of the late Helen Hyslop. Once all the details have been finalised the construction will commence after the rainy season circa April 2026.
Lloyd, the caretaker, has been cutting walking paths on the hill, making clearings for picnic sites and planted gardens at the entrance of the site where the Centre will be positioned.
Three to four Picnic benches will be installed in the next few months.
Electrical wiring and security lighting have been installed at the caretaker’s house.
Painting will commence shortly. Lloyd Chidondo the caretaker who commenced in March 2024 has done an outstanding job to date.
An exercise is planned to identify and label the trees at the property
The clearing of pathways and the removal of alien plants continues.
