Gwanda kicked off construction on roads and water systems for the Garikai/Hlalani Kuhle neighborhood after residents dealt with zero infrastructure for years. Provincial Affairs Minister Albert Nguluvhe showed up for the ceremony and said President Mnangagwa is backing the push to get 655 households hooked up with proper utilities, schools, and clinics over the next nine months.
ZimBuild CEO Tinashe Manzungu laid out plans for about 8.6 kilometers of water pipes, 7.2 kilometers of sewer lines, and matching road construction. The whole thing ties into the government's National Development Strategy 2 goal of delivering one million housing units nationwide while regularizing informal settlements instead of just bulldozing them.
Gwanda Mayor Thulani Moyo thinks upgrading Hlalani Kuhle helps the town's push toward city status, and better billing systems should bring in more revenue once services actually reach people's homes.
