Thupeyo Muleya Beitbridge Bureau
A new clinic in the Tshabili area built through devolution funds and resources mobilised through a partnership involving the Beitbridge Rural District Council (BBRDC) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has opened doors to service close to 5 000 people.
The project, which started in 2003 has been progressing at a snail’s pace due to resource constraints.
Civil works peaked a few years ago following the intervention of the IOM and Government, through the devolution initiative.
The Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) was also roped in to construct the main structures, while communities provided other materials including brick moulding.
Two more clinics at Mazunga (Ward 14) and Dumba (Ward 15) whose construction has been funded through devolution and the Constituency Development Fund will open doors to the public before the end of next month.
The local authority has so far received a cumulative $17 million in devolution funds in the last three years.
BBRDC chief executive officer Mr Peter Moyo said the clinics are part of the major infrastructure development initiatives they have implemented under the devolution concept in the last two years.
