The VVIP Pavilion at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport is now 99% complete, reflecting the near-finalization of this crucial infrastructure.

These achievements are a testament to the Second Republic’s commitment to the mantra “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo” (a country is built by its own people). The impressive progress in infrastructure projects underscores the government’s dedication to building Zimbabwe for posterity. What stands out about these ongoing infrastructure projects is that they are being executed using local resources and companies, with no reliance on foreign credit lines. Zimbabwe is being built by Zimbabweans, with Zimbabwean resources, for Zimbabweans. Despite the challenges posed by the illegal sanctions regime, the country continues to make remarkable strides in infrastructure development.
The Second Republic’s infrastructure initiatives reflect a self-reliant and resilient approach, demonstrating that Zimbabwe’s future is being shaped by the hands of its own people.
