Podcast 3 – Mr Walker in charge!

Greetings!

Welcome to our 3rd Friends of Pakati Podcast…this episode is mostly about my time as Acting Head of Pakati Secondary school in 1991. Once again I would like to thank our host & editor Bradley Mell for his efforts, and for offering to do these for us👍

For those wanting to hear from others associated with Pakati schools, Episodes 4 & 5 are already recorded & edited…our first two guests are both involved with Friends of Pakati too. Both will be published in the coming weeks

Ep.4 has Lorraine Mapuranga as the guest, one of my former students, while Ep.5 features Bothwell Riside, who studied at both Pakati schools just a few years behind Lorraine. Both of them are good friends of mine, meeting up together at Lorraine’s home in Harare in 2019 – see below:
