NDS2: Matopos Road Rehabilitation Update The rehabilitation of Matopos Road is a key component of the broader infrastructure drive in Bulawayo, specifically falling under the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 (ERRP2). Government intervention on this stretch is particularly strategic, as Matopos Road serves as a vital artery connecting the city to the Matobo World Heritage Site and the Matabeleland South province. Key Updates on the Project (March 2026) ✍🏽Funding and Strategy: The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) recently proposed using a portion of its Zinara allocation (approximately ZiG 62 million) to move away from hiring expensive equipment. By purchasing its own plant and machinery, the council aims to accelerate the overlaying and periodic maintenance of major roads like Matopos Road. ✍🏽Broader Regional Impact: This project is being synchronized with the rapid upgrade of the Bulawayo-Maphisa Highway, which is being prioritized ahead of the 2026 Independence Day celebrations hosted in Matabeleland South. ✍🏽Infrastructure Standards: Similar to the ongoing works on the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls road, the rehabilitation typically involves: ✔️Full Pavement Reconstruction: In areas where the road has outlived its design life. ✔️Widening: Expanding the carriageway to improve safety and accommodate heavy traffic. ✔️Stormwater Drainage: Improving culverts to prevent the "pothole cycle" caused by water logging. Related Infrastructure Developments As of March 2026, several other critical corridors in the region are seeing simultaneous progress: ✍🏽Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Highway: Approximately 47.5 kilometers have now been opened to traffic as contractors aim for a mid-to-late 2026 completion. ✍🏽Urban Roads: The recent reopening of Lorraine Drive in Harare on March 9 serves as the template for the quality of urban road rehabilitation being applied to Bulawayo's main roads.

Mutoko’s Finealt Plant Emerges as a Model for Rural Industrialisation and Bioeconomy Growth Mutoko – The Finealt bioeconomy plant in Mutoko is fast positioning itself as a strategic pillar in Zimbabwe’s rural industrialisation drive, demonstrating how local resources can be transformed into high-value products while stimulating inclusive economic growth. Spearheaded within the broader framework of the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2), the plant focuses on converting locally grown crops such as sunflower and soya into cooking oil, soap and biodiesel. This model directly addresses one of Zimbabwe’s long-standing economic gaps, the export of raw agricultural produce with limited local value addition. @ZimGvt_NDS1 @Zim_Vision2030 @DeptCommsZW @InfoMinZW @Min_of_IC

Mbare Musika Rebuild Signals Promise, But Modernisation Must Match Its National Importance Harare – The reconstruction of Mbare Musika marks yet another chapter in the life of Zimbabwe’s most rading hub, but history demands that this time, renewal must go beyond physical rebuilding to a complete redefinition of how the market operates within a modern economy. Since independence, Mbare Musika has undergone multiple renovations, each attempting to restore order and functionality, yet repeatedly falling short of transforming the market into a fully structured, efficient and future-ready commercial centre. This pattern points not to a failure of rebuilding, but to a deeper issue, outdated operational standards that have not kept pace with the scale, complexity and importance of the market itself. positiveeyenews.co.zw/2026/03/25/mba… @MoLGPWZim @myedvt @mwacsmed @SWAPOPRESIDENT

CIMAS Under Fire for Alleged Anti-Competitive Practices in Zimbabwe’s Healthcare Sector The Competition and Tariff Commission (CTC) has launched an investigation into CIMAS Medical Aid Society (CIMAS), one of Zimbabwe’s largest medical aid providers, over allegations of restrictive and anti-competitive practices in the health sector. The probe follows a complaint by Belnash Investments, trading as Harvey Brown Pharmacy, which was denied registration as a health service provider on CIMAS’s direct payment system. According to reports, CIMAS denied Harvey Brown registration despite having similar service providers on its platform. Allegations have been made that CIMAS has a pharmacy close to Harvey Brown and has been indirectly referring clients to their pharmacy, potentially limiting healthcare choices for its members. The CTC is concerned that such practices, if true, would stifle competition and create unfair barriers for independent businesses. positiveeyenews.co.zw/2026/03/25/cim… @CimasHealth @CTCZimbabwe @MoHCCZim @InfoMinZW
