Willdale Limited wants to sell its land worth $2.6 million. The brick company hopes this sale will help buy better machines.

The firm owns 165.6 hectares near Mt Hampden, close to Zimbabwe's new Parliament building. People want to land there because a new city will rise nearby.

Willdale needs money for a modern kiln that will make bricks faster and cheaper. Currently, the company pays more to make bricks than its rivals.

The past year brought mixed news for Willdale. The firm made $11 million in sales, up from $6.7 million last year. But it made fewer bricks because it lacked the money to run at full power.

Many factors pushed up costs. Workers received 23% more pay, and power bills jumped 41%. Money problems in Zimbabwe's banks made things harder.

Yet builders keep asking for bricks. New homes and shopping centers need lots of them. Willdale sells bricks to these projects, but it can't make enough to meet demand.

The company thinks it will stay strong. Its leaders trust their plans and say others will help them grow. They believe new machines will help them beat their rivals.

Willdale must move fast. Other brickmakers threaten to take their customers. The firm needs better tools to make more bricks and keep prices fair.

The company waits for permits to split up and sell its land. This money could change how Willdale works, helping it make better bricks for less money.
