Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The City of Gweru is planning to upgrade its aerodrome into a cargo airport to boost business development in Zimbabwe\u2019s third-largest city.<\/p>\n

This was revealed by Gweru Mayor Councillor Martin Chivhoko at a recent full council meeting.<\/p>\n

As reported by NewsDay<\/b>, Chivhoko said an agreement with a private partner for the commencement of the airport project will be signed soon. He said:<\/p>\n

We are working on upgrading the Gweru aerodrome into a fully-fledged specialised cargo airport.<\/p>\n

In the next few months, we will be doing a groundbreaking ceremony after completing the paperwork process.
\nChivhoko said the local authority also intends to resuscitate Go Beer, which is expected to commence production in eight months.<\/p>\n

Gweru United Residents and Ratepayers Association Trust executive director David Chikore said:<\/p>\n

All these are noble ideas but they should start running on the ground to improve council revenue streams so that as ratepayers we also benefit from improved service delivery.<\/p>\n

The Gweru City Council is owed over ZWL$79 billion by debtors and mainly relies on rates for its operations.<\/p>\n
