by Derick Tsimba

Early next week the Acting President, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, will be meeting Church leaders in Bulawayo to share with them positives of the New Dispensation.

On its Twitter page, the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting said various spiritual leaders were going to meet the Acting President to commemorate the positives of the New Dispensation.

“Acting President, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, will be joining spiritual leaders from various denominations in a Thanksgiving Service and Faith for the Nation Campaign at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF). They will commemorate the positives of the New Dispensation,” said the Ministry of Information.

Government has been implementing various initiatives to turn around the economy under the New Dispensation, since the beginning of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Presidential term this year. It started with the construction of a New City to decongest Harare and has embarked on electricity generation projects among other progressive projects such as road rehabilitations.

Construction of the New Parliament building shall result in the emergence of a New City. The City shall be a hub of economic development since it shall open up avenues for various trade opportunities for local and international investors.

Government also remains ahead on ensuring that electricity supply increases on the national grid. Urban expansion has led to an increased demand on electricity which at times results in power outages.

Recently Government assisted a local Zimbabwe based company LPC and Craft Properties (Pvt) Ltd to secure a US$ 1.8 billion mega solar project from Austin Texas United States of America which shall see close to 300 mega watts being added on the national grid as well as employing over 4000 people. Government of Zimbabwe has been continuously supportive of the initiative to increase the supply of electricity on the national grid.
