Matabeleland people have argued
that developmental projects which are supposed to uplift the lives of
ordinary people in Matabeleland and which should have been completed long back have been moving at a snail’s pace to be
completed. Some are still incomplete
compared to projects in other provinces compared to projects in other parts of
the country.
These projects include the Nkayi road, the
Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo airport which was only opened last year after being
postponed many times, Ekusileni hospital,
the National University of Science and
Technology, the Matabeleland Zambezi Water Trust project which is meant to
boost Matabeleland in terms of water supply.
I wonder if the government’s
failure to prioritise these projects in Matabeleland is due to lack of funding
or it is a deliberate ploy to sideline people in Matabeleland region. There has
been unequal distribution and allocation of resources towards the development
of projects in Matabeleland and those in other parts of the country.
