Garwe to Commission Fire Tender, Equipment for Insiza, Umzingwane

The Minister of Local Government and Public Works, Daniel Garwe, is today expected to commission motorbikes, a fire tender and earth-moving equipment acquired by Insiza Rural District Council and Umzingwane Rural District Council.

Minister Garwe will begin the programme at Insiza RDC before travelling to Umzingwane RDC to officially hand over the equipment. He will be accompanied by his deputy, Albert Mavunga, together with senior officials from the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works.

Also expected to attend the event is the Minister of State for Matabeleland South Province Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Albert Nguluvhe, alongside traditional leaders, ZANU PF officials, heads of Government departments and members of the local community.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening service delivery in line with the vision of Emmerson Mnangagwa, who has consistently called for improved efficiency and accountability in local authorities.

Funding for the equipment came from several sources, including devolution funds, allocations from the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA), and resources from the respective councils.

The newly acquired machinery is expected to improve the councils’ capacity to carry out critical tasks such as servicing residential stands, maintaining road infrastructure and responding to emergencies.
