About 20 Cabinet ministers descend on Bulawayo today for a Zim-Asset interactive conference that will be headlined by the First Lady Grace Mugabe.
The conference will be held at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair’s Hall 3 today and tomorrow under the theme: “Consolidating Bulawayo’s growth through Zim-Asset.”
Ministers are expected to explain how the city is benefiting from government programmes. The Minister of State for Bulawayo Provincial Affairs, Eunice Nomthandazo Moyo, yesterday said that 20 Ministers will grace the indaba, with the First Lady as the guest of honour.
She said Mugabe is also expected to handover a donation today at Mpopoma High School on behalf of Zinara.
She emphasised on punctuality, saying it was important for the people to be seated by 8.45AM.
“Accreditation and registration will be done between 8AM and 8.45AM. I want to encourage our delegates to come in their numbers and come early for the conference,” said Moyo.
She said the conference was organised after it was realised that Bulawayo residents rarely get a platform to engage government officials.
She said this has deprived residents’ first-hand information on the government’s programmes and policies.
