VICE President Dr Constantino Chiwenga has urged the SADC construction sector to forge ahead as a united bloc to transform the region.
Speaking at the inaugural Zimbabwe Building Contractors Association summit here in Victoria Falls, Dr Chiwenga said there is no substitute for the unification of the Region’s construction industry.
“Unification is a valuable panacea for unlocking our collective potential and it reinforces the empowerment of our SADC community.
“The construction industry stands as one of the key underpinning enablers for the full realisation of the SADC Industrialisation Agenda which will transform the region into a vibrant and sustainable industrial hub,” said Dr Chiwenga.
“Our gathering here today, marks a significant step towards unifying the construction industry within the country and the region.
“This unity enables us to speak with one voice, share ideas, share resources, and leverage our collective expertise for sustainable growth and development of the industry.”
He further said collaboration and working together is key to the development of world-class infrastructure that supports industrial development, trade and economic integration.
“Moreover, a strong construction industry will stimulate great innovations, stimulate local economies and improve the living standards for millions of people across the entire SADC Region.”
