What does it take to build light rail for one of the world’s coldest capital cities?

With CSCEC as a major contractor, the first phase of the Astana LRT project spans about 22.4 km. CSCEC built 18.34 km of the line, including 14 stations, 15 sections and one depot.

As Central Asia’s first urban light rail line and its first fully automated driverless smart rail transit system, the line integrates key technologies including fully automated operation, contact-rail power supply and adaptation to extreme cold environments.

Now in service, the line offers Astana a faster and more convenient way to move.

He gets a geography lesson in response.

This I support. This is in my village/muraini, the chief is out of order. I know I can be causing myself trouble. But let it be.

It is overdue; the institution of traditional chiefs should be examined and their powers curbed. The exploitation of rural people, some of whom are barely literate, has to stop.

[Rutendo Matinyarare @matinyarare]

1/ Was due process followed by the school builder?
2. Was there public consultation?
3. Were the permissions from community leaders and ministry given to the school builder?
4. Did he take communal land and grazing land (public land) and privatize it to build a private school? This is an illegal sabuku deal if he did.
5. Where must the community graze their cattle now that there is a school in their grazing land?

Grazing land impacts national herd building, rural cattle ownership, food security and the savings of communities which lie in their cattle. Our national herd has been declining due to privatization of grazing land through illegal sabuku deals. Yet grazing land has a higher public interest while privatization of communal lands is illegal. We have seen how this destroys lives and increases crime in South Africa.

The issue must be taken to court bearing in mind that Murinye is a lawyer by training and he is the custodian of the Great Zimbabwe. If he is not strict, that whole area will turn into a township and the national heritage destroyed with it.

@matinyarare What grazing land? Munda wababa vake negomo/ruware. This man has developed this village and the surrounding areas, including schools. Electricity and borehole running water. The dusty road from Topora/Rukovo to Mashenjere is maintained by Mr Mutangiri. Nor DDF/Council.

@TOITASEYI @adv_fulcrum Grazing land ipiko? Mugomo muruware maakavakira ndoponzi grazing land. Kuchine grazing land kwaMurinye?

The impasse meeting regarding Riverton Academy, being hosted at the office of Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Ezra Chadzamira, is still ongoing. However, Chief Murinye has left the meeting abruptly, citing intimidation as the reason for his departure.

There is virtually nothing to refer to as development in the chief's area. Even the roads, Mutangiri is taking care of them. The surrounding schools, akaisa magetsi. This school is at his rural home and has created employment for locals. This is anti-rural development.

[Vahombe @Vahombe07]

This Chief Murinye needs to be reined in like yesterday.

The earlier his tail is cut-off, the better for the community & Zimbabwe at large!!!

[, Hwami @mhwami]

@HeraldZimbabwe What grazing land. Mumunda maMutangiri

[, Hwami @mhwami]

@TheMirrorMsv These are the same people who have been frustrating Mutangiri as he works to improve our area. They have stopped him from tarring the road, and the chief does nothing but extort money from poor villagers. This school project is big for our village.

[, Hwami @mhwami]

@TheMirrorMsv It is time for this corrupt chief to be made accountable

[The Mirror Masvingo @TheMirrorMsv]

Chief Murinye today used his truck to block a road to Riverton Academy Extension (Murinye), a new boarding school built in the area by Philimon Mutangiri. He ordered parents to take their children back home as the school is not going to open as scheduled tomorrow because Mutangiri did not get his permission to build the school. Mutangiri however dismissed the claims and told Masvingo Mirror that he actually connected electricity to the chief's homestead and bought a transformer for $7k. Mutangiri said the Chief is demanding for a contract to be signed in which all his children are going to attend the school for free. It is understood that the chief has more than one wife.
