The election date for the 2023 Harmonised Elections might be proclaimed by the end of May, President Mnangagwa has said.
Speaking during the commissioning of the refurbished Mhondoro Rural Hospital on Thursday, the President said the nation should prepare for the upcoming polls.
“We will soon be having our elections this year. I am privileged to know the date; it is fast approaching. Towards the end of next month, I will proclaim the date. For now, prepare for the polls,” he said.
Meanwhile, the President said public-private partnerships will complement Government efforts to decentralise critical services such as health across the country.
He commended platinum miner Zimplats for infrastructure projects such as the refurbishment of Mhondoro Rural Hospital, which are positively impacting on livelihoods.
“To this end, the Second Republic welcomes private-public partnerships, which complement my Government’s efforts towards strengthening our health delivery system and increasing the spread of our health facilities across provinces and districts,” said President Mnangagwa.
“As a result of financing such facilities, Zimplats is among the leading private sector companies in transferring knowledge, technology and capacity-building in our health sector through such private-public sector initiatives.”
