Speaking during the handover ceremony, Caps United Supporters Mutare chapter vice-chairman Nelson Mlambo, said they were touched by the plight of the female inmates who faced many challenges, among them food shortages, while serving their prison terms. “It is very important to support these wonderful groups. As Caps United Supporters Mutare Chapter, we remembered female inmates. We will continue to donate to them.
“We are happy to associate with them. Today, we are here to hand over the groceries to our friends. It is not much but we decided to visit the female inmates today and spend some time with them. I hope and trust that this donation will make a difference in the lives of the inmates. It is our desire that we continue assisting them. We hope to do better next time. We hope to make it an annual event,” said Mlambo. Inmates who received the donations appreciated the role being played by Caps United supporters.
“As female inmates, we appreciate and honour the role played by the Caps United supporters in assisting us as female inmates. The donation will go a long way. We do not take this for granted. We are so grateful and we hope they will continue to assist and support us as they have said,” said one of the inmates.
