Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Hon. Ezra R. Chadzamira, has challenged stakeholders to use the three-day Masvingo Provincial Economic Development Plan 2 (PEDP 2) Consultative Workshop to develop a bold and practical roadmap towards achieving a US$8 billion provincial economy by 2030, in line with Vision 2030 and NDS2.

The workshop, being held at Flamboyant Hotel, has brought together government officials, academics, business representatives, civil society, church leaders and provincial heads to review development progress, identify new investment opportunities and strengthen partnerships to improve service delivery across the province.

Speaking at the workshop, Minister Chadzamira said Masvingo’s development strategy must prioritise climate resilience, value addition, beneficiation and results-based planning, particularly in preparation for the projected 2026/27 El Niño season. He urged stakeholders to strengthen irrigation, water harvesting, Pfumvudza/Intwasa and drought-contingency measures while setting clear and measurable development targets.

He said the province could no longer afford to simply celebrate its abundant mineral, land and water resources without converting them into tangible economic benefits through local beneficiation.

Minister Chadzamira welcomed the national ban on raw mineral exports, highlighting the construction of a lithium sulphate processing plant by Sinomine Bikita Minerals through Masvingo Lithium Technologies. The plant is expected to be commissioned in March 2027, with commercial production targeted for June 2027.

On infrastructure development, he noted that the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Highway is 87 percent complete within the province, while the Mucheke/Chevron Bridge has helped ease traffic congestion. He also highlighted ongoing rehabilitation of the Chilonga Road and construction of its US$5 million causeway.

The Minister said climate-proofing initiatives had helped Masvingo transition from being traditionally cereal-deficient to a cereal-surplus province. He called on stakeholders from all districts to ensure their priorities are incorporated into PEDP 2 and to work collectively towards building a resilient, prosperous and industrialised Masvingo Province by 2030.

ZANU PF Masvingo Province is pushing for the suspension of all internal party elections until 2030, as part of proposed amendments to the party constitution aimed at aligning it with recent changes to the country’s Constitution. The province is also proposing that existing party structures remain in office during the period and that the elective Congress be moved from 2027 to 2029.

The resolutions were presented at a Provincial Inter-District Meeting held at Masvingo Polytechnic ahead of the 2026 ZANU PF National People’s Conference, which will be held in Mashonaland West.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa urged churches to take a leading role in Zimbabwe’s economic transformation and the attainment of Vision 2030, saying government alone cannot deliver development.

Speaking through Minister of Defence and War Veterans Affairs Hon. Oppah C.Z. Muchinguri-Kashiri at the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe (AFM) annual conference at Rufaro Conference Centre on Saturday, the President commended AFM for complementing government efforts through the construction of schools, health facilities and other community projects.

“Churches must continue to be partners in development. Your investment in education, health and social services is critical to the inclusive growth we seek as a nation,” the President said.

In a major boost to AFM’s education drive, Minister Muchinguri-Kashiri presented the church with an offer letter for 50 hectares of land to establish a university. She also officially commissioned the newly built Rufaro Clinic.

The clinic, is expected to ease pressure on health services in Masvingo and serve thousands of residents who previously travelled long distances for care.

Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Hon. Ezra Chadzamira, in his welcoming remarks, praised AFM for its contribution to nation-building.
“We appreciate AFM for this clinic. It is a direct response to the needs of our people. Such projects show what can be achieved when government, churches and communities work together,” he said.

As part of government support to the church’s programs, 90 tonnes of rice were also handed over to AFM.

The Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Masvingo Province, Hon Ezra Chadzamira, attended the installation of Chief Muroyi where Minister of Local Government Hon D Garwe was the Guest of Honour.

Hon Chadzamira congratulated Solomon Charles Mavhenyengwa on his installation as Chief Muroyi he thanked Hon Garwe and President Mnangagwa for supporting the restoration of traditional institutions, saying it shows the Second Republic’s commitment to giving dignity and authority back to traditional leaders. He described the President as a “biblical Joshua” and urged Chief Muroyi to work closely with his people and stakeholders to drive development.

Hon Garwe said the restoration strengthens cultural heritage and good governance for the more than 60,000 people under Chief Muroyi. The chieftainship had been downgraded by the colonial administration in 1951, and this is the first substantive installation since then. While the area has benefited from schools, clinics, boreholes and roads, Hon Garwe noted that more work, especially on school electrification, is still needed.

Both ministers called for unity and cooperation in the Muroyi community as the new chief begins his tenure, in line with Government’s goal of leaving no one and no place behind.
