Mohadi appears fatigued amid rising tensions related to March 31 protests…

Vice President Kembo Mohadi has expressed his approval of the ongoing civil work at Mutora Business Centre in Gokwe North, the designated site for Zimbabwe’s 45th Independence Day commemorations. On Friday, he led an inter-ministerial team to review the infrastructure developments, road construction, and budget allocations, praising the team for their hard work.

“I’ve observed significant progress, and I am confident that everything will be ready by the time the celebrations arrive. We must maintain this momentum because progress can’t happen without proper roads. The key to development isn’t found in urban areas; it’s in rural regions where our voters reside. I’d like to extend my thanks to the team on the ground. We are continually learning, and I’m optimistic that this event will be even more refined. With every bit of experience, we’re seeing notable and positive improvements,” Vice President Mohadi stated.

The required funds for various civil works have already been allocated and are in use.

“Preparations are advancing swiftly. The release of over US$14 million has significantly accelerated progress. The field turf is now 95% completed, changing rooms are at 65%, and the ground-level terraces are taking shape. Local schools are also benefiting from attention,” said Mr. Zvinechimwe Churu, Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet for Finance, Administration, and Human Resources.

“We’ve completed 70% of the project. Contractors have started receiving payments, and we’ve instituted a round-the-clock work schedule to ensure we finish on time for the celebrations,” added Honourable Owen Ncube, the Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devotion.

“I’m pleased to see that most of the materials are already on-site.

By April 10, all major works are expected to be finished. The changing rooms are almost ready for roofing, and I’m impressed by the enthusiasm shown by the workers. The key and feeder roads are also being given the attention they deserve, which is excellent,” commented Honourable Daniel Garwe, Minister of Local Government and Public Works.
