Zimbabwe's provincial minister for Matabeleland South wants everyone to pitch in to build fancy infrastructure that gets the region closer to middle-income status. Albert Nguluvhe said the new Gwanda Travel Centre proves what happens when the government teams up with private investors through partnerships. Mapinda Investments worked with Gwanda Municipality to turn the old bus terminal into a modern facility with offices, shops, vendor stalls, solar lights, and proper paving.
The upgraded center handles buses running between Gwanda and Bulawayo, plus cross-border transport and local routes. Mayor Thulani Moyo said the town is cleaning up the central business district by giving transport operators and vendors proper spaces instead of letting them operate from rundown locations. Gwanda sits on the highway between Bulawayo and Beitbridge, and officials want the town looking decent since tons of traffic rolls through the mining area.
