SECURICO founder and managing director Dr. Divine Simbi Ndhlukula, celebrated the commissioning of a solar project and internet connectivity for the Mbuya Mary Simbi Library and Computer Lab, in Makudo in Gutu, Zimbabwe.

With the new solar-powered internet connectivity, students in the area can now access the digital world for the first time, enabling learning opportunities previously out of reach. The initiative was funded by proceeds from SECURICO’s Silver Jubilee Golf Day, marking another significant contribution from the company to Zimbabwe’s education sector.

In addition to inaugurating the project, SECURICO awarded laptops and tablets to the top three students in the region. The event also highlighted sustainability through a partnership with the Chigubu Lantern Project, training 160 students to create solar lights from waste materials. This initiative not only addresses evening study needs but also promotes circular economy principles.

Since the library’s establishment in 2021, the pass rates in local schools have significantly improved. This new development is expected to further enhance educational outcomes and broaden horizons for students.

“These are exciting times for the Makudo community,” said Ndhlukula. “We are unlocking new worlds for these students through education and technology. This is just the beginning, and there’s much more to come.”

Divine Simbi Ndhlukula, a trailblazing entrepreneur recognized by Forbes as one of Africa’s most successful women, has built SECURICO from humble beginnings into a market leader employing over 3,800 people. Known for her passion for empowering women, Ndhlukula has been instrumental in integrating women into the security sector and pioneering initiatives through the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce Women’s Desk.

Under her leadership, SECURICO celebrates 26 years of excellence, delivering integrated security solutions with a focus on service quality and employee motivation. The company’s enduring success stands as a testament to its core principles: service excellence and a happy, disciplined workforce.

The solar project and digital advancements at Library are more than just infrastructural achievements; they represent a vision for a brighter, more connected future. As SECURICO continues to champion innovative and impactful initiatives, the Makudo community stands as a shining example of how education, technology, and corporate social responsibility can create lasting change.

For the people of Gutu, the light from their new solar project doesn’t just illuminate homes—it lights the path toward empowerment and opportunity.
