Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) is setting up the Bulawayo Technology Centre (BTC), a factory that will manufacture containers and also process honey and fruits.<\/p>\n

NUST\u2019s Pro-Vice Chancellor, Innovation and Business Development William Goriwondo told the Chronicle that the machinery for the factory was sourced by India on behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe. Said Goriwondo:<\/p>\n

The equipment is coming through as a partnership between Zimbabwe and the Indian government. We call it the Indo-Zim partnership which has brought machines here.<\/p>\n

We are establishing the Bulawayo Technology Centre where we have various equipment that is going to be used to make various products with NUST housing this equipment.<\/p>\n

We are also working with the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation and Technology Development as our parent ministry and Bulawayo Polytechnic is involved as well.<\/p>\n

In terms of installation of the equipment we have done most of the equipment and the final touches are done and we are working with engineers and technicians from India.<\/p>\n

Goriwondo added that the plant, which was supposed to start running in 2020 before its mounting was stalled by the outbreak of COVID-19, is expected to be commissioned before the end of the year. He said:<\/p>\n

The installation is just starting. The machines have been here through the pre-Covid-19 era but could not be installed because the engineers could not come.<\/p>\n

But after the lifting of the ban on travel we are finalising the installation. At the moment we are just finalising the set-up for commissioning and we are saying by the end of this quarter we should be having the machines running.<\/p>\n

We are going to be doing honey processing and honey products and also fruit jam processing. We also have plastic moulding injection, moulding and blow moulding equipment to make plastic bottles.<\/p>\n
