NDS2 ☀️🇿🇼 100MW OF SUNSHINE, POWERING ZIMBABWE’S FUTURE!
Zimbabwe’s US$100 million Mapanzure Solar Park in Zvishavane is taking shape as a major boost to the country’s green energy ambitions.
Phase 1 is nearing completion with 60MW installed, while Phase 2 will add another 40MW, bringing the project to 100MW DC / 85MW AC capacity and an estimated 200 million kWh of electricity annually.
Even better: 95% of the workforce is local. 👷🏾♂️🇿🇼
This is more than solar panels. It means more electricity, jobs, investment and productive capacity—advancing energy security and the industrialisation goals of NDS2 and Vision 2030.
From Zimbabwe’s sunshine to Zimbabwe’s economic growth. ☀️⚡🇿🇼
Green energy. Local jobs. Stronger industry. A more secure energy future. 🇿🇼
This is the kind of practical urban renewal Bulawayo needs. Ngozi Mine has been an environmental concern for decades, so a proper rehabilitation plan that contains pollution, controls odours and protects nearby communities would be a major step forward. Cleaner cities begin with modern waste management.
Geo Pomona Unveils Plan to Transform Ngozi Mine
By ZimFocus Reporter
GEO Pomona chairman and chief executive officer Dr Delish Nguwaya says the company plans to transform Bulawayo’s Ngozi Mine dumpsite into a modern waste management facility through a comprehensive rehabilitation programme aimed at curbing pollution and protecting residents.
Dr Nguwaya, who is also the Presidential Adviser on Waste Management, said the proposed intervention would involve encapsulating the decades-old waste using specialised geomembrane and geotextile materials to contain pollution and prevent the spread of odours, flies, waste and harmful gases.
Speaking in an interview after a stakeholder meeting in Bulawayo, Dr Nguwaya said the company would also rehabilitate and reshape the dumpsite as part of efforts to establish a modern waste management system.
“The plan that we have for Ngozi Mine is to do what we call encapsulation to deal with the waste which has been there for decades, by covering it with geomembrane and geotextile so that we prevent the spread of odour, flies, waste and gases,” he said.
Dr Nguwaya said the intervention would also include the restoration of the dumpsite to bring it in line with modern waste management standards.
“We need to rehabilitate the dump site to make sure that we have a modern waste management facility,” he said.
He said the company was also considering interventions in the septic sector to further prevent pollution and improve environmental management in the city.
Dr Nguwaya said the situation at Ngozi Mine required urgent attention given the environmental risks posed to communities living around the facility.
“People in Bulawayo are now living in a dangerous environment, but we need to protect them. We need to protect the environment and also protect the citizens to make sure that they live in a good environment,” he said.
He said once an agreement between the relevant authorities and Geo Pomona was signed, his technical team would immediately begin assessing the site and developing a detailed action plan.
“After we sign the agreement, we dispatch my team. Waste management is a process; it is not an easy job to do,” he said.
Dr Nguwaya said the initial phase would involve assessing the waste already at the site and determining the most effective and quickest method of managing and containing it.
“First, we want to do what we call waste management. We move all the waste which is there and take it. We also do what I call capping. So we need to find out what is the quickest method to do that at Ngozi Mine,” he said.
He said his technical team would determine the precise timelines after conducting the necessary assessments, with the broader rehabilitation programme expected to be undertaken as quickly as possible.
“My team will come to me with an action plan and indicate how many months this is going to take, but it will not take long,” he said.
The proposed intervention comes as Government and the City of Bulawayo intensify efforts to address challenges at Ngozi Mine and improve waste management in the city.
The initiative is expected to complement Government’s broader environmental protection and urban development agenda, while contributing towards the creation of cleaner, safer and more sustainable communities in line with the country’s development aspirations.
