New entrant Anopra targets slice of booming construction
ZIMBABWE'S fast-growing construction landscape is set to receive further impetus with the entrance of Anopra, a new venture from the established Dareguru Group, which seeks to exploit the litany of opportunities emerging from increased public expenditure in key infrastructure.
Since the Second Republic came into power, several local construction companies have benefitted from a marked increase in capital programmes funded by the Government, among the roads, dams, bridges, schools and public health facilities.
Construction is an important sector that contributes greatly to the economic growth of a nation. The construction industry is an investment-led sector where the Government shows high interest.
The Government contracts the construction industry to develop infrastructure related to health, transport as well as the education sector, sustaining and creating huge employment opportunities.
Following years of limited spending in key infrastructure, the Government has committed to increasing the amount spent on capital programmes to close the infrastructure gap deemed detrimental to development.
This has spawned limitless opportunities for many indigenous start-ups and established small enterprises.
As such, Anopora steps into the market targeting to roll out a comprehensive range of construction services, including contract mining and farming, civil and earthworks, and earthmoving equipment hire.
Anopra's diverse service portfolio caters to various needs within the construction industry.
Whether it is extracting valuable resources through contract mining, cultivating land for agricultural endeavours through contract farming, or undertaking essential civil and earthwork projects, Anopra aims to be a one-stop shop for clients.
“We are excited to contribute to the development of Zimbabwe and beyond,” Mr Arnold Sibanda, director of Anopra said.
“By leveraging the expertise and resources of the Dareguru Group, we are confident in delivering exceptional service and exceeding client expectations.”
Anopra will seek to leverage an extensive fleet of earthmoving equipment to carve out a niche in the busy construction industry where the Government has an extensive schedule of construction.
From dependable front-end loaders and versatile tractor backhoe loaders to powerful excavators and efficient tippers, their comprehensive range ensures it tackles projects of all sizes and complexities.
Furthermore, Mr Sibanda said the company could provide motor graders with exceptional finishing touches and crawler dozers for tackling tough terrain supported in an endeavour to provide complete earth-moving solutions.
He said Anopra's arrival in the market signified Dareguru Group's commitment to diversifying and contributing to Zimbabwe's growth.
Its expertise and resources, coupled with Anopra's comprehensive service offerings, position it to potentially become a valuable player in Zimbabwe's dynamic construction landscape. Mr Sibanda said as Zimbabwe's economic landscape continues to evolve, Anopra would strive to leave an indelible mark by facilitating development and progress across various key sectors.
“We see tremendous potential in Zimbabwe's construction sector,” said Mr Sibanda.
“With the Government's focus on infrastructure development and ongoing private sector projects, there is a growing demand for reliable and diversified construction services. By leveraging our expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and affiliation with the established Dareguru Group, we believe Anopra is well-positioned to capitalise on this demand and contribute to the nation's continued growth.”
Zimbabwe's construction industry has the potential to be a significant driver of the country's economic development. The need for housing, infrastructure development, and commercial projects creates a strong demand for construction services.
The Government has prioritised infrastructure development in recent years, investing in roads, bridges, and dams. This is expected to further boost the industry.
