Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Masvingo Province, Hon Ezra Chadzamira, has reaffirmed that Masvingo Province is ready for major local and international investment partnerships under Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030 and the “Zimbabwe is Open for Business” policy championed by Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Speaking at the South Africa–Zimbabwe ZIDO Business Summit 2026, Hon. Chadzamira highlighted the province’s vast investment opportunities in agriculture, mining, tourism, infrastructure, logistics, and renewable energy.
He described Masvingo as Zimbabwe’s water capital, with major dams including Tugwi-Mukosi Dam, Lake Mutirikwi, Manyuchi Dam, and Siya Dam providing strong potential for irrigation farming, livestock production, and agro-processing industries.

The Minister invited investors to partner in citrus farming, avocado production, grain cultivation, beef ranching, feedlots, cold-chain storage, and value-addition industries across districts such as Mwenezi District, Chivi District, Chiredzi District, and Zaka District.

On mining, Hon. Chadzamira said Sino Bikita Minerals presents major opportunities for lithium beneficiation and battery manufacturing, while Masvingo’s gold belts, coal reserves, and diamond prospects also offer significant industrial and exploration potential.
He further promoted tourism investments around Great Zimbabwe, Lake Mutirikwi, Tugwi-Mukosi Dam, and Gonarezhou National Park, including opportunities for luxury hotels, eco-lodges, conference centres, and water-sport facilities.
Hon. Chadzamira also emphasized Masvingo’s strategic location along the Beitbridge–Masvingo–Harare Highway and regional rail links connecting Zimbabwe to South Africa and Mozambique, creating opportunities in logistics, dry ports, warehousing, and transport infrastructure.

He highlighted renewable energy opportunities through solar and mini-hydropower projects and assured investors of a supportive business environment through the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency and the province’s open-door investment policy.

The Minister concluded by urging Zimbabweans in the diaspora and global investors to participate in Masvingo’s economic transformation, saying the province has the resources, peace, skilled workforce, and political will to become a major economic hub under Vision 2030.

CHIVI CENTRAL — Chivi Central Mp, Hon. Exevia Maoneke has launched the rehabilitation of the Gwitima–Mafuta Road in Ward 18 as part of ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and access to essential services in the constituency.

The rehabilitation programme also includes works on the Chivi–Shokoni Road, which is expected to ease transport challenges for villagers, farmers, school children and local businesses.

Speaking during the launch, Hon. Maoneke said improving the road network remains key to enhancing rural development, market access and service delivery in communities across Chivi Central.

Residents welcomed the initiative, saying the roads had become difficult to use, especially during the rainy season.

In another major development for Ward 18, Hon. Maoneke also pledged the installation of solar-powered boreholes at Gwitima School and Shozhowe School to improve access to clean and safe water for learners and surrounding communities. The boreholes are expected to help address water shortages while promoting better hygiene and sanitation at the schools.

Chivi, Masvingo — Smiles filled Ward 18 in Chivi Central as young girls received sanitary wear from Chivi Central Mp, Hon. Exevia Maoneke in a drive aimed at promoting menstrual health, restoring dignity, and keeping girls in school.

The initiative, which focused on supporting the girl child, saw dozens of young girls receiving hampers containing sanitary pads. For many beneficiaries, it was the first time they had access to a reliable supply that could last them several months.

Speaking during the distribution, Hon. Maoneke said no girl should miss school because of a lack of sanitary products.
“Missing school should not be part of growing up,” said Hon. Maoneke. “Education is your power, and we will not let something as basic as sanitary wear stand in the way.”

Teachers who attended the event said absenteeism among girls often increases during menstruation due to lack of proper sanitary wear. Some girls reportedly resort to using old cloths and unsafe materials, exposing them to infections and discomfort.

One Form Two pupil expressed gratitude for the donation, saying it would help her focus more on her studies.
“Now I can sit in class without worrying. I can focus on my school work,” she said with a smile.

The sanitary wear distribution forms part of Hon. Maoneke’s ongoing efforts to support the welfare and education of the girl child in Chivi Central.
Ward 18 residents welcomed the initiative and appealed for the programme to be expanded to more villages so that no girl is left behind.

CHIVI CENTRAL — Chivi Central Mp, Hon Exevia Maoneke attended a sorghum(Mapfunde) field day held at the homestead of Mr and Mrs Honyera in Ward 18, where more than 200 farmers and community members gathered to celebrate together with the Honyera family.

Upon arrival, Hon Maoneke toured the fields and inspected the harvest produced by Mr and Mrs Honyera, whose success in sorghum farming stood out in the drought-prone Chivi.

Addressing the gathering, Hon Maoneke encouraged farmers to embrace traditional grain farming, especially sorghum and millet, saying such crops are more suitable for areas that receive low rainfall.

As part of supporting local farmers, Hon Maoneke presented prizes including a wheelbarrow, a knapsack sprayer, and 10kg of Organic fertiliser to Mr and Mrs Honyera, who emerged winners in a sorghum farming competition involving 21 farmers. Yield Plus Company also gave 5 litres of liquid fertiliser to the winning family.

Hon Maoneke further rewarded all farmers who participated in the sorghum competition by giving a wheel barrow each.
In addition, every person who attended the event received a 5kg bag of fertiliser, ensuring that no one left empty-handed at the successful community gathering.
