Govt To Re-tender Harare-Beitbridge Highway Construction Project

Briefing the Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Corporation (AFECC) in China, President Emmerson Mnanagagwa said Government had resolved to withdraw the tender awarded to Austrian firm, Geiger International, for the dualisation of the Harare-Beitbridge-Chirundu Highway.

He said Government had become impatient with lack of construction activity along the country’s busiest highway that links Zimbabwe, South Africa and several other countries in the north. Said Mnangagwa:

In the area of infrastructure development, we need bidders for the dualisation and widening of the Beitbridge-Harare Chirundu Highway. For two years we have had problems with Geiger, so Cabinet has taken a decision to institute a legal process to terminate the deal as a result of non-performance.
