One company just got exclusive rights to fix rivers nationwide. The government authorized Prevail Group, owned by Paul Tungwarara, to rehabilitate the Muroodzi River as a prototype project. A cabinet directive suspended all other river rehabilitation work across the country, blocking any other firms from receiving contracts. This move precedes planned legislation to enforce the Polluter Pays Principle for mining damages.
The directive orders provincial ministers not to award related contracts to any other company. It states the Muroodzi project is the only approved activity pending further national guidelines. This arrangement has drawn scrutiny, given Prevail's expanding portfolio of major government contracts. The group has worked on projects like the Parirenyatwa Hospital refurbishment and the Presidential Borehole Scheme.
A parliamentary committee previously accused Prevail International of poor performance and window dressing. Their assessment found non-functional boreholes and incomplete business units in Chivi District. Communities were left without reliable water access due to the substandard work. The company is also involved in the Mt Hampden Cyber City development and construction at State House.
