It is impressive.
“Let me dare to say in my humble spirit, it is one of the best in Southern Africa so congratulations to the people of Zimbabwe and this is a great school for all of us.
“Dedication and focus matter, infrastructure matters. It changes the lives of the people and above all it creates jobs and opportunities for our young people.
“So this is in my humble opinion again, a state-of-the-art facility which I believe the people of Zimbabwe, from the way I know them, humble and educated people, will know how to maintain. This will promote a destination for all of us,” he said.
Minister Magala said they were in Zimbabwe to have some serious discussions on how they were going to implement rail, road and aviation infrastructure projects.
“But based on the guidance that our Presidents already have given to us, we can integrate the two economies to make it a bigger market space where there will be a lot of opportunities for all of us; where the movement goods is smooth and not constrained by bureaucracy.
“We will not be constrained by nationalities. We are going to make decisions to advance this agenda,” he said.
Minister Mhona also said what was of paramount importance was the relations that had been cemented by the two great leaders, Presidents Mnangagwa and Nyusi.
“I am happy that we are here today to witness once again this very important infrastructure project that has been put up by the Second Republic and to thank His Excellency Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, the visionary leader.
“I invited my colleague, Cde Minister (Magala), but it was a directive again from our two Heads of State when we visited Machipanda last year,” he said.
He said in terms of rail infrastructure, Mozambique was well advanced and they opened up a railway line that had not been operational for close to 26 years.
“So it was a challenge. Then I said to him now I also want you to visit Zimbabwe and also exchange notes and I am happy that he has heeded that call and today he is here to witness what we have also done, under very difficult circumstances as Zimbabwe. “
“I am happy that we are now here as two ministers to also make sure that we explore and take advantage of our infrastructure to enhance our corridor which is the Beira Corridor. And I am happy that this is what we are going to be doing and the technical team has been here since Monday,” minister Mhona said.
He said the two ministers would also be visiting Forbes Border Post today and the new airport site in Manicaland.
