Rehabilitation works included the supply and installation of 800KVA and 200KVA transformers, renovation of the pump house, servicing of pumps and maintenance of infield pipes among others.
Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Marian Chombo toured the irrigation scheme to assess its readiness.
