Belarus Offers Zimbabwe 500 Buses

In a meeting with Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko offered to give Zimbabwe 500 buses.

Briefing journalists after yesterday’s Cabinet meeting, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said:

Belarus has offered to help develop Zimbabwe as a regional transport hub using its own experiences. Belarus also offered to provide Zimbabwe with an initial 500 buses with the possibility of increasing the number in future. The TSP talks about modernising public transport and this is part of that. We know our people are suffering a lot and Government interventions have given a relief to our people in the urban areas but there is still a lot more work to be done to make sure we give that kind of relief to people in rural areas and inter-city.

Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube said Government was looking at the latest offer since it was not for free.
