“Significant progress is witnessed in the implementation of various projects across the District and Province as a whole.
The thrust of the NDS1 is to transform lives by achieving accelerated, inclusive and result based growth and development. I have been seeing this happening in other provinces and l’m glad it is now happening in my Province, Matebeleland North,” said Minister Moyo.
Minister Moyo applauded the Bubi Rural District Council Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer for serving the people with diligence.
He urged them to use the new equipment and motorbikes to serve the people of Bubi.
“l am very impressed especially considering that this year BRDC was in the map of the state of art Bona Clinic that l officially opened on the 6th of November 2021,” said Minister Moyo.
Mr Douglas Banana Mpofu , Councillor for Siganda, applauded the Second Republic for noticing them and bringing relief by allowing their council to buy them motor bikes which they will pay back in instalments.
“We are relieved and elated to say the least as we can move around our wards and attend to all meetings with ease,” he said ecstatically.
More developmental achievements are expected in 2022.

The tractor and the dam scooper is a profound gesture that will impact positively in all the 22 wards.
