The Siachilaba community has enjoyed a close working relationship and rich cultural exchange with the Austria-Zimbabwe Friendship Association (Austria) and Kunzwana Trust (Harare) for over 10 years, which included 'The Nyaminyami Festival - A celebration of Valley Tonga Culture' in 1997.The Tonga.Online project is one of the outcomes of this valuable exchange. The Siachilaba ITC was established in May 2004, after electricity was made available by the ZESA Rural Electrification Agency. Five computers are networked and access is offered to all people of the community, regardless of race, age, gender, tribal background or religious or political affiliation.
Siachilaba Primary School welcomed electricity for the first time on Tuesday 04 May 2004, after 47 years. The BaTonga people of Binga are descended from those who were forcibly removed from their traditional homes and fertile riverside fields in the 1950s, to make way for the filling of Kariba Dam.

Eventually electricity has arrived at Siachilaba Primary School and will change the living and learning conditions of pupils and teachers tremendously! We are looking forward to see the installations of cabling and fittings in the computer classroom completed before the next 15 computers are donated and shipped in from Austria.

Thanks to the hardworking ZESA people and the Tonga.Online team!
