`VICE PRESIDENT MOHADI COMMISSIONS KASAMBABEZI BORDER POST, OPENING A NEW CHAPTER FOR BINGA'S ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION`
*BINGA, Matabeleland North Province* – Vice President Colonel (Rtd) Dr. Kembo Campbell Dugish Mohadi officially commissioned the Kasambabezi Border Post offices and clearance hall Today Friday, describing the project as a major milestone in Zimbabwe's drive to modernise border infrastructure, strengthen regional trade, and accelerate socio-economic development in previously underserved communities. The ceremony brought together senior Government officials, traditional leaders, security services, stakeholders, and representatives from Zambia, underscoring the strategic importance of the border post to bilateral relations and regional integration.
Welcoming the Vice President and dignitaries, the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Matabeleland North, Hon. Richard Moyo, said the commissioning represented far more than the opening of a new Government facility. He described it as a symbol of restored dignity and a practical demonstration of the Second Republic's unwavering commitment to inclusive development that leaves no one and no place behind. Hon. Richard Moyo noted that Binga District, which has endured decades of developmental challenges following the displacement of communities during the construction of the Kariba Dam, is now witnessing unprecedented transformation under the leadership of President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa through Vision 2030, devolution, and people-centred development programmes.
Hon. Richard Moyo highlighted the significant developmental gains already realised across Binga District, including, expanded electrification, enhanced health and education facilities, water development projects, and strengthened social services. He emphasised that devolution funding has empowered local authorities to prioritise projects identified by communities themselves, ensuring that Government interventions directly respond to the aspirations and needs of local citizens. He further stated that the Kasambabezi Border Post would become a strategic gateway connecting Zimbabwe with Zambia and the wider Southern African region, facilitating trade, investment, tourism, and employment creation while stimulating economic activity throughout Matabeleland North Province.
Addressing delegates during the official opening.
Vice President Mohadi reaffirmed the Government's commitment to modernising critical infrastructure as a catalyst for national development and regional economic integration. The commissioning of the Kasambabezi Border Post marks another significant step in the implementation of the Second Republic's infrastructure development agenda and reinforces Zimbabwe's commitment to building efficient border management systems that promote commerce, strengthen cross-border cooperation, and improve service delivery.
The new facility is expected to unlock fresh economic opportunities for Binga District while positioning the area as an important trade and tourism corridor, complemented by its unique lakefront attractions, abundant wildlife, and rich Tonga cultural heritage. Through such strategic investments, the Government continues to advance the national vision of achieving an upper-middle-income economy by 2030 while ensuring balanced and inclusive development across all provinces.
