Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Walter Mzembi said last week preparations for the event were proceeding smoothly.
Minister Mzembi said several infrastructural developments were in the pipeline.
“We hope that construction work on the theme park will start in June this year on an initial area of about 80 hectares,” said Minister Mzembi.
“The park will house a state-of-the-art convention centre, casinos and shopping malls, among other structures that are aimed at making sure that the next year’s event is a success.”
