The financing is expected to accelerate the completion of major highways, improve regional trade corridors and reduce pressure on Treasury resources.

Nothabo Zandile Tshuma (42) and her daughters Natalie (15) and Nala (5) died in July in a tragedy that shocked Zimbabweans at home and abroad.
The three were found dead at their family home in Bedfordshire, after relatives and friends raised concerns when they had not seen or heard from them for several days. A post-mortem found that the deaths were caused by blunt force trauma.
