Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 81748, member: 636"] Binga's new nursing school aims to open this year as part of a major development push. The Binga School of Nursing is slated to begin instruction this year, a key element of the broader Binga Development Initiative backed by President Mnangagwa. District Development Coordinator Land Kabome confirmed the district has formally requested a green light for operations, arguing that training local nurses will address chronic staffing shortages by reducing turnover from outside hires. This project was part of a comprehensive infrastructure package approved by Cabinet, which also included road rehabilitation, a vocational training center, a border post, and an upgraded airstrip. Beyond the nursing school, officials are pushing for more lecturers at the existing Binga Polytechnic to meet rising enrollment. Several projects under the initiative are already complete, like new civil registry offices and an expanded mortuary at Binga District Hospital that now holds twelve bodies. The upgraded Binga Airstrip can handle six light aircraft, improving access to the remote district. The government views these developments as critical for unlocking Binga's economic potential, particularly in tourism. The area features hot springs, wildlife, and cultural heritage sites, earmarked for inclusion in a larger Victoria Falls to Kariba tourism corridor and a Special Economic Zone. Other finished work includes solar-powered boreholes, a refurbished craft center, and internet connectivity for Binga High School. In a separate housing effort, Vice President Kembo Mohadi recently commissioned thirty-seven new houses in Nsungwale Village. This project permanently resettles families displaced by devastating floods five years ago, with a total of eighty one homes planned for the worst affected households. The overall push aligns with national goals to transform historically marginalized areas and stimulate sustainable growth. [/QUOTE]
