With continuous pressure to push forward development, Cabinet yesterday assessed progress by day 50 of the 1st 100-Day Cycle of this year which included the completion of the factory for the modern bio-diesel production plant in Mutoko and the 90 percent completion of the roads materials production plant in Zvishavane. The priority development work presented to Cabinet was anchored on fostering the country’s beneficiation capacity as well as maximising earnings from the country’s manufacturing sector and ending imports of products that can be manufactured locally. Zimbabwe is thus forging ahead with plans to make sure that the productive sector plays its expected midwifery role towards the attainment of an empowered upper-middle income economy as well as sustaining the envisioned rapid economic growth as set out by President Mnangagwa. Speaking after the Cabinet meeting yesterday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa detailed some of the progress seen this year. “The establishment of the roads materials production plant in Zvishavane, Midlands, is at 90 percent of completion, with the factory shell completed and the production line equipment having already been procured. “Production of roads materials will lengthen the lifespan of roads and reduce the cost of road construction and maintenance in the country,” said Minister Mutsvangwa.
