Kanyemba has the potential to be Africa’s own version of Dubai, due to its strategic location and potential for growth, a senior Government official has said.
Kanyemba is a border town in Mashonaland Central province.
In her welcome message to delegates at the 19th Zanu PF National People’s Conference in Bindura on Friday, Mashonaland Central Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Monica Mavhunga said the town’s unique position of bordering three countries at once – Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia – makes it a special asset to the province.
“As a tourist town, Kanyemba has the potential to be the Dubai of Africa. It unites three countries as one, and this creates a dream of constructing a wide and extensive bridge,” she said.
Minister Mavhunga expressed gratitude to President Mnangagwa’s administration for the devolution programme, which has brought development to all the eight districts in the province, as well as the reopening of mines such as the Eureka and Shamva gold mines.
