The project, led by Provincial Engineer Mangisi Nkomo, is being undertaken by several construction companies equipped with high-tech machinery and technical expertise. Minister Mhona recently toured the project, accompanied by Matabeleland South Provincial Minister, Hon Albert Nguluvhe, to assess progress.
