MDC academics dominate Swedish scholarship awards


MDC Academics have scooped top competitive scholarship awards for the past 16 years with Bindura Town taking 33% of 12 SIDA scholarships awarded to Zimbabwe in the past 16 years I can reveal, ZANU PF government through the Ministry of Women’s Affairs taking 2, while MDC taking 5 awards.

Recipients includes; 



Elliot Pfebve, MDC who won twice (2000 and 2009),



Tapera Macheka, MDC (2013),


Thamasanga Dengazela, MDC (2014) and


Tinashe Madamombe (2015)

A tough selection which is awarded annually and open globally is limited to 25 awards with this year one open to the following targeted countries;

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kosovo, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe (457 million population)

The competition is tough with a potential competition open to a combined 457 million people (Population of target group). For MDC to win 5 and Bindura alone winning 4, is a sign of academic prowess.

Well done MDC and Bindura.
