The businessman, whose interest is property is looking forward to investing an initial $12 million in the country’s construction, health and farming sectors
Before the implementation of the ease of doing business starting a business was cumbersome as nine procedures were required, taking 90 days and at a cost of 107 percent of per capita income. Comparatively, in South Africa it only takes 19 days to start a business and costs only 0,3 percent of per capita income.
The businessman, whose interest is property is looking forward to investing an initial $12 million in the country’s construction, health and farming sectors.
“In Zimbabwe I was looking (at investing) mainly in constructioninfrastructure and also in farming. The President (Emmerson Mnangagwa) emphasised a lot about farming. I am interested in farming. If I can get a farm tomorrow (anytime) I can start farming immediately,” said Mr Mncube.
He, however, said the company’s first priority would be to apply for a tender to see off the construction of the Bulawayo-Nkayi Road. The Bulawayo-Nkayi Road is probably one of the most deplorable better to repair than to patch, fully repairing because resurfacing can’t guarantee what is at the bottom,” said Mr Mncube.
He said there was also a need to modernise the country’s roads as well as improving emergence preparedness in the event of accidents.
“If anyone can be given a job to construct roads, on the roads we need to extract SOS telephones, maybe one kilometre away from each other whereby when there is an accident the one that would be alive can easily stand up and press the button easily and get help and ambulance crews come and assist those that are injured,” said Mr Mncube.
SOS telephones or emergency telephones are commonly found alongside major roads throughout the world.
“If I am given a platform, I would really love to bring a lot of ambulances to start assisting the people of Zimbabwe. If I am giving that tender I need to purchase 50 to 100 ambulances to come and assist in our country. I’m very much ready to hit the ground running. At the present moment I am going into meetings with relevant ministers and
