Local Government and Public Works Ministry, Harare City Council and a private player Masimba Holdings have signed an agreement on the construction of a new look Mbare Traders Market.
President Mnangagwa declared a state of disaster for Mbare following an inferno that destroyed stalls and wares last month.
All modalities are now in place for modernisation works to commence, building better in line with Vision 2030.
Local Government and Public Works Minister Daniel Garwe, Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume and Masimba Holdings chief executive Fungai Matahwa signed the deal at Local Government and Public Works Offices offices on Thursday.
Minister Garwe said the signing is great, not only for Mbare but Zimbabwe as a whole because Mbare Traders’ Market speaks to the entire nation.
The minister said they are so grateful to the Government as this initiative is testament to the President’s Vision 2030 of transforming the country into an upper-middle-income economy.
“In that vision, we are directed to pursue and ensure that we implement the policy on urban transformation, the policy on urban regeneration, retrofitting our buildings that are dilapidated, that are too old,” he said.
