Boost for Bulawayo ‘s Trading Spaces

The city of Bulawayo is poised to benefit significantly from a US$200,000 donation pledged by Switzerland to develop Bhakta’s Market. This funding announcement, made by Mayor David Coltart, is a major boost to the city’s efforts to modernize and formalize its trading spaces. The donation will play a crucial role in transforming Bhakta’s Market, located at the intersection of Lobengula Street and Second Avenue, into a thriving hub for vendors who were recently relocated from Fifth Avenue due to overcrowding.

The city council’s initiative to organize the central district and improve facilities for informal traders is well underway. With this donation, the council plans to implement infrastructure improvements that will enhance the overall trading experience. Specifically, the funds will be used to provide secure trading spaces, sanitation facilities, and essential services. These upgrades will not only benefit the traders but also improve the shopping experience for customers, promoting a more organized and vibrant market.

Mayor Coltart expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership with the Swiss government, highlighting the council’s collaborative work with finance committees to bring this project to fruition. The council is working diligently to ensure that the development of Bhakta’s Market is a success, and this donation marks another positive step forward for the city. The development of Bhakta’s Market is expected to have a ripple effect on the local economy, potentially attracting more customers and investors to the area.

The pledge has been welcomed by vendors and traders who are eager to operate in a more conducive environment. With the donation, the city council can now move forward with plans to create a modern and well-equipped market that will benefit both traders and the community at large. The development of Bhakta’s Market is a testament to the city council’s commitment to improving the lives of its residents and promoting economic growth.
