Zanu PF youths have invested more than US$1 million in constructing more than 80 market stalls at Njere Complex in Mbare, which are expected to benefit thousands of young people, in line with Government’s economic empowerment drive that seeks to attain an upper middle class economy by 2030.
The project is also expected to benefit several downstream enterprises through job creation and other business activities. The stalls are almost at roof level and each of them is expected to accommodate at least five people directly.
Ward 4 Councillor Boniface Maburuse said they had converted Njere dumpsite into market stalls to create employment for youths and help combat cholera.
The dumpsite was an eyesore with vendors operating close to the site.
Clr Maburuse said: “I was approached by the youths who wanted to invest in small to medium enterprises. I assisted them to get the required paperwork and they followed all the procedures required to establish market stall at the site. We are happy they are almost complete with some of the structures ready for occupation,” said Clr Maburuse.
Secretary for Ward 4 Development Community Cde Munyaradzi Chitenderere said they were constructing a million-dollar project meant to transform Njere complex in Mbare into a smart market mall.
“So far some of the shops are ready for occupation. We mobilised resources as youths to ensure that we contribute immensely to the development of the country.”
The complex will have more than 100 shops.
