Chegutu Municipality will establish both on-site and off-site infrastructure for stands at Kaguvi as it begins to feverishly work on plans to provide 1 500 residential stands through the National Housing Programme.
It is envisaged that servicing of the stands will be completed within Government’s 100-day work cycle.
All Government departments have come up with 100-day plans that are designed to materially impact on people’s livelihoods.
In an interview recently, Chegutu Town Clerk Mr Alex Mandigo said the municipality was using a rapid-results approach in achieving positive change within the targeted 100 days.
“We are using the 100-day plan with the rapid-results approach; this is to achieve positive change in Chegutu,” he said.
“We are working towards servicing of Kaguvi Phase 4 on-site and off-site infrastructure during the period.
“The estimated cost is $16 million and is most likely to create 300 jobs for the local communities and it is set to alleviate the national (housing) backlog by 1 500 units.
“So far the design and tendering has been done.”
Mr Mandigo said Chegutu will also reconstruct more than 10 kilometres of road within its jurisdiction.
“This is to improve the trafficability of our roads by five percent and will also see improved investments in Chegutu,” he said.
“Thirty more people would be employed. The project is still in progress and is expected to be complete within the 100 days.”
Council, Mr Mandigo said, had achieved some great strides in its development agenda. “So far we have completed our water reticulation works in Chegutu East and the road construction has been completed in the same area,” he said.
“We have also constructed a maternity wing, as well as the rehabilitation of the existing clinic to reduce infant mortality rate in Chegutu District.”
