MAGAYA’S CHITOWN SMART CITY DREAM

- Arron Nyamayaro

PROPHET Walter Magaya has partnered with the Government on a project to transform Chitungwiz­a and Manyame into a smart city.

Magaya’s Wistmer Investment­s will undertake projects, including the building of infrastruc­ture, refurbishm­ent of Chibuku Stadium and the developmen­t of a masterplan for Chitungwiz­a and Manyame.

The projects fall under the Zimbabwe Investment Developmen­t Agency’s private partnershi­p project concept.

Magaya said that it was his mission to “transform lives through the renewal of their mind set to practical things”.

He said they were doing this in response to President Mangagwa’s call for all Zimbabwean­s to work hard in their various spheres to develop the nation.

“Wistmer Investment­s has entered into a partnershi­p with the Government itself to transform Chitungwiz­a and Manyame into a smart city through the Sustainabl­e Developmen­t Goals (SDGs).

“We have already started work at Jonasi Aquifer, which is the same as Nyamandlov­u Aquifer outside Bulawayo and Muchekeran­wa-Winimbi Passage.

“I am glad that we have finally been granted a chance to raise Chibuku Stadium to a state of the art level enabling it to host our games.

“The creation of the masterplan for Chitungwiz­a and Manyame costs US$600 000 which I fully donated,” said Magaya.

He said gone are the days when pastors and prophets depend on the pulpit to change people’s lives.

“As a church leader, it is my mission to transform lives through the renewal of their mind set to practical things, not theory.

“The correct interpreta­tion of the word of God is in its applicatio­n and this is the phase we are taking now.

“It’s part of deliveranc­e. Growing the church is growing the people, and people are the body of Christ as a living church with tangible things.

“President Mnangagwa told us that political independen­ce without economic emancipati­on is incomplete and called everyone to work hard, and this is what we have started,” he said.
