Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82113, member: 636"] Another day, another government workshop in a hotel conference room. Owen Ncube, the Midlands province minister, kicked off a strategic planning review in Bulawayo. Officials from the President's office and other provincial stakeholders were there. Ncube told the room that the province should use the last national development plan, called NDS1, as its model for the next five-year stretch. He mentioned that NDS1 led to some big project completions in areas like mining and agriculture. The minister also said the workshop goals match the President's recent call to keep up whatever momentum they claimed to have built. Ncube gave a shout-out to the province's civil servants for their hard work, crediting them for Midlands reportedly having the top GDP figure for rural provinces last year, according to the national stats agency.
