Zinara bumps up Byo road rehab funds to ZiG61m

BULAWAYO City Council’s 2025 Emergency Roads Rehabilitation Programme 2 (ERRP2) has been allocated more funding, after getting ZiG61 986 822 from the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) compared to the ZiG18 568 731 allocated last year.

According to the latest council report on the road rehabilitation programmes for both 2024 and 2025, the department of works reported last month that Bulawayo was facing challenges with procurement of materials and hiring of plant and equipment.

This was attributed to delays from the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Praz), special procurement oversight committee and lack of participation by key contractors and suppliers.
