President Mugabe launches dualisation of Beitbridge-Harare highway

President Robert Mugabe today launched the dualisation of the Beitbridge-Harare highway at Chaka Business Centre just outside Masvingo town this afternoon. The highway will be constructed by Geiger International which won the tender.

Speaking at the ceremony Mugabe said the dualisation of the highway will stimulate development since it is the busiest in the country and links South Africa and other countries in the SADC region, East and Central Africa. He went on to blame the sanctions for the lack of major infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe. He urged local companies to participate in the project and warned them against overcharging so that they can be considered for future projects.

Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Joram Gumbo said the first part of the project which covers the Beitbridge-Harare highway will take three years to complete will be financed under the public-private partnership agreement, while the second part covering Harare-Chirundu will be financed by a loan. Mr Eric Geiger, the Vice Chairman of Geiger International said that 40 percent of the work will be undertaken by Zimbabweans.
