US$30m people’s market on cards
Municipal Reporter
A LEBANESE company, Consortio International, has won a tender to build the US$30 million Mupedzanhamo 2 on Shawasha Grounds in Mbare.
The new market is expected to decongest the existing Mupedzanhamo.
It will have over 1 000 stalls to cater for more informal traders.
The multi-storey building will have a parkade, banking halls, eateries and shops.
The decision to build a second marketplace in Mbare is expected to promote entre-preneurship. The city and the Lebanese firm will jointly build and manage the complex.
However, the city’s equity in the business will be determined by the value of its land.
Evaluation is underway.

He said the country would no longer beg for foreign funding as it was expecting to rake in over US$3 billion per year from diamond sales.
According to the latest US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the two companies have been added onto the “specially
