There is noticeable progress in the construction of Kunzvi Dam in Goromonzi district, Mashonaland East province, which is now 52 percent complete.
Kunzvi dam will be one of the biggest water bodies in Mashonaland East and is expected to assist in solving water issues in Harare.
In a statement on their X handle, the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) highlighted the progress that is being made at the construction site
“Delivering a water secure nation, riverbed section placing of dental concrete, right bank excavations and grouting in progress at Kunzvi Dam. Construction progress now stands at 52 percent,” read the statement.
Besides ensuring supplies for north-east and eastern Harare, Chitungwiza and Ruwa, will also benefit from the dam, which is situated on the confluence of the Nora and Nyaguwe rivers in Goromonzi district.
A lot of the existing bulk water infrastructure that the two towns should be using is already in place in eastern Kunzvi Dam which was planned decades ago.
However significant progress has since been recorded on the construction during the past year as the Second Republic fulfils its promises of turning the country into an upper middle-income economy by 2030 in line with the National Development Strategy 1 and leaving no place, and no one behind.
