City of Masvingo hosts Inter-Municipal games induction workshop for Local Authorities Task Force
The City of Masvingo today hosted an Induction Workshop for the Inter Cities Social Sports Festival aimed at equipping members of the local authorities task force with the knowledge and technical guidance required for the successful organisation and management of the Inter-Municipal Games.
The workshop brought together representatives from participating local authorities, sports coordinators, organising committees, and other key stakeholders involved in the implementation of the festival.

Addressing participants during the workshop, facilitators highlighted the importance of the Inter-Municipal Games in promoting employee wellness, teamwork, networking, and unity among local authorities. Participants were encouraged to work together in the spirit of cooperation and professionalism to ensure the smooth running of the games.
The workshop focused on familiarising participants with the technical guidelines governing the games, reviewing operational procedures, and discussing the standards expected of all participating councils.

*To prepare the festival council with the knowledge needed to successfully organise and manage the games.
