I was recently appointed the State Secretary for Manica Province and came here to introduce myself and get to know the leadership as well as strengthen our relationship between the two provinces,” he said.

The delegation held a meeting to exchange insights on shared challenges and explore solutions beneficial to both regions.

Min Mugadza expressed satisfaction with the outcomes of the discussions, highlighting critical developments at the Forbes-Machipanda border post.
