MATABELELAND South Minister of Provincial Affairs and Devolution Albert Nguluvhe has said poor funding of projects is affecting the development in his province of close to a million people.
He said capital projects like the construction of the Thuli Manyage Dam and the Insiza Registry Office were failing to take of because of lack of resources.
“Ladies and Gentlemen – Funding Constraints: Projects like the Thuli Manyage Dam Construction and Insiza Registry Office Construction are facing delays due to inadequate funding. Effective resource allocation remains a challenge, impacting the timely completion of these projects,” he said.
He was welcoming delegates and the Special Advisor for Projects and Implementation to President Emmerson Mnangagwa Joram Gumbo on a four three day tour of Beitbridge projects.
Gumbo was touring projects outside the border post which were part of its US $300 million upgrade.
Nguluvhe accompanied him.
“Through meticulous planning and efficient execution, we aim to maximize the impact of these projects. By prioritizing effective monitoring and evaluation, we will identify areas of improvement, optimize resource allocation, and deliver projects that positively impact our communities,” said Nguluvhe.
He said Gumbo’s visit aligned with Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030, which seeks to transform Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.
