Roselyne Sachiti in MIDRAND, South Africa
VICE PRESIDENT Kembo Mohadi met with Indian and German business communities in South Africa this morning and encouraged them to consider various investment opportunities available in Zimbabwe.
VP Mohadi, who is accompanied by Deputy Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Kuda Mnangagwa, as well as other Government representatives, stated that Zimbabwe is in the process of modernising its infrastructure, which includes improvements to and construction of dams, roads, and ports of entry, among other projects.
The Beitbridge Border Post and Robert Gabriel International Airport, he pointed out, have undergone significant transformation surpassing the standards of those in the SADC region.
He said major roads have also undergone massive rehabilitation, with works continuing across the country.
“Through the transformative leadership of President Mnangagwa, noticeable changes are increasingly being observed across all sectors of the economy, hence we are asking you to come and invest,” said VP Mohadi.
He assured the business community that Zimbabwe is a peaceful country and their investments are safe.
“I know those that have never been to Zimbabwe, who read about Zimbabwe through the media sponsored by our detractors, think Zimbabwe is a failed State.
“Zimbabwe is a peaceful country and has a conducive environment for any kind of investment that you would like to do.
“In another five years or so, if nothing interrupts our development trajectory, it will be one of the most developed countries in SADC. We have the resources, the first resource is the human capital, very educated human capital. We are also endowed with a lot of mineral resources,” he said.
