The manufacturing sector and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) must take advantage of the potential in home grown, innovative solutions to drive and propel the country’s modernisation and industrialisation agenda which has been made evident during the present Covid-19 response strategies, Zanu PF First Secretary, President Mnangagwa has said.

The President made the call during the 339th Ordinary Session of the Politburo at the revolutionary party’s headquarters in Harare today.

“The manufacturing sector and SMEs must harness the immense potential in home grown, innovative solutions to drive and propel our country’s modernisation and industrialisation. In this regard, there should be closer cooperation between the manufacturing sector, SMEs and our education institutions,” he said.

President Mnangagwa said the Government is committed to accelerate infrastructure projects to drive the economy.

“Infrastructure projects such as the Beitbridge-Harare road construction as well as other roads such as the Bulawayo-Nkayi roads will be accelerated. Equally, Government will be moving with urgency to help in easing the perennial water challenges in Bulawayo Province,” he added.
