Water Resources Development and Management minister Samuel Sipepa Nkomo has given assurance that the construction of the Mtshabezi-Umzingwane pipeline will be complete by mid-year.
The 42km pipeline link to Mtshabezi Dam in Matabeleland South is regarded as the medium-term solution to Bulawayo’s perennial water problems. The project, mooted 18 years ago, has repeatedly missed deadlines.
Last month, the Bulawayo City Council revealed that the Umzingwane Dam would soon be decommissioned.
