He said the $500 000 water and sewer reticulation project for Mashava town was still in the pipeline.
“We will drill more boreholes for Mashava community whose population has also increased given the advent of Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) Campus at Temereire Compound. There are still plans to augment sewer and water system at a cost of more than $500 000, given the inflationary condition,” said Mr Mubviro.
Masvingo Minister of State for Provincial Affairs Ezra Chadzamira has hailed the local authorities for their speedy implementation of devolution projects.
He called on Treasury to speedily release the remaining funds to the province for disbursement to the respective local authorities so that equipment is procured before inflation erodes the funds. @ walterbmswazie2
