Contractors building the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls highway promised to wrap the project by next year, with Transport Ministry permanent secretary Joy Makumbe leading a media tour showing off how local firms like Fossil Construction, Masimba Construction, and Syvern Engineering are handling all eight sections of the 440-kilometer route. The government is betting hard on homegrown talent instead of bringing in foreign expertise, and Makumbe stressed that quality road construction takes time, even though everyone wants instant results.
Matabeleland North Minister of State Richard Moyo pushed contractors to stay on top of pothole repairs while the work continues, since maintenance matters just as much as initial delivery. The road was a total disaster before this project kicked off, but the Second Republic is treating the rebuild as a chance to boost economic activity, tourism revenue, and job creation across communities that desperately need better infrastructure and connectivity.
