Remember Deketeke-Herald Correspondent
VISITING SADC Ministers of Energy yesterday commended Zimbabwe’s ongoing shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy following a tour of the Geo Pomona Waste Management site in Harare.
The delegation, led by Energy and Power Development Minister July Moyo and SADC Executive Secretary Mr Elias Magosi, applauded the country’s efforts to harness waste for clean energy production, describing the initiative as a model worth replicating across the region.
Speaking after the tour, Mr Magosi said the facility aligns with global climate targets and Africa’s commitment to a greener future.
“This tour is consistent with the global initiative to clean the environment. We are the creators of waste, and it is our responsibility to find solutions,” he said.
“What was once a major waste site has been rehabilitated. Today, it not only creates employment, but will soon generate power, from waste to energy.”
The visit follows an earlier inspection in August 2024 by regional Heads of State and Government who expressed interest in replicating similar projects across SADC member states. ReadMore
