The Second Republic has been involved in upgrading the lifestyle for all Zimbabweans in an effort to make sure that no one and no place is left behind. Recently Government engaged in an urgent rehabilitation program which includes the building of Lake Gwayi-Shangani which will assist in improving human and wildlife survival in the Binga region. A 100km water pipeline from the Lake to Bulawayo will help improve availability of water in Bulawayo, while two Irrigation farming points have also been identified along this water pipeline.
The Government is also seized with the construction of Kunzvi Dam which is in Goromonzi. This Dam has since surpassed 80% completion. Kunzvi Dam is also expected to feed water supply into Harare.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently commissioned the Mrewa Civil Registry sub-office, to ensure that the system is decentralised and accessible even to the grassroots people at the village. This office will ensure that residents from Mashonaland East will access passports, Birth Certificates among other documents without traveling to Harare.
