Shurugwi- The Minister of Local Government and Public Works July Moyo last week approved Shurugwi Town Council’s ZW$3.1 billion 2023 annual budget.
Shurugwi Acting Town Secretary Francis Charamba confirmed the development and said the budget translates to US $4.6 million.
Last year the budget stood at ZWL 1.1 billion and the performance was rated at 62percent.
“Council is determined to consolidate the achievements made last year and finish pending projects using the approved budget.
“It (council) will also seek to accelerate the provision of clean water to its residents through the RB East Mine water project which is almost complete and will supply the whole town.
“The other major project we intend to work on is the completion of Sebanga Poly Clinic maternity wing which is earmarked to open its doors to the public in 2023,” said Charamba.
On the education sector, council will work on the construction of a primary school in Sebanga to ease the walking distance for children in the area.
