During a Cabinet meeting on October 29, 2024, Minister of Local Government and Public Works, Honourable Daniel Garwe, outlined the Government’s plans for the market’s reconstruction. The proposed design features a three-floor model where businesses will be categorized and distributed across levels to enhance operational efficiency and better serve traders’ needs.

The redesign is also positioned as a pilot for the Smart Market concept, an initiative aimed at creating a safer and more modern trading environment. This concept will incorporate upgraded facilities to support both traders and customers, focusing on sustainability and accessibility.

Minister Garwe highlighted the Government’s commitment to fostering a vibrant, modern trading ecosystem. The reconstructed Mbare Musika Traders Market is expected to play a key role in revitalizing the local economy by providing traders with a secure and functional environment. This project, he noted, underscores the Government’s dedication to rebuilding essential infrastructure and creating resilient community hubs post-disaster.
