President Mnangagwa has said the Second Republic 'is seized with the project of constructing housing units in all these border towns' so that civil servants and all agencies will have adequate and decent accommodation.
He was speaking during the commissioning of the Beitbridge Re-Development Housing Project today (17 November) in Beitbridge.
The President expressed delight for witnessing the project which was initiated in 2006 but stalled for years now gathering pace.
"I am happy that I have begun this project in 2006 and due to my resilience, I am completing it in 2021. The project stalled in 2008 but was restarted in 2019 under the Second Republic. So far 52 units have been complete and more are on the way" President said.
Housing delivery to Zimbabweans is one of the key promises made to Zimbabweans at the launch of the Second Republic.
Recently, the President launched the Zimbabwe National Human Settlements Policy which aims to build 225 000 housing units by 2025.
Beitbridge attained town status in 2006.
Beitbridge connects Zimbabwe and South Africa and serves as the transit point for the majority of north-south trade in Southern Africa.
The commissioned houses are for the accommodation of civil servants.
About 16 blocks of flats that are at various stages of development from footing to roof level and when complete, will accommodate 64 families. RDF
