In a decisive move to reclaim control over vital national infrastructure, the City of Harare (CoH) has forged a strategic Public-Private Partnership (PPP) that puts Zimbabwean interests at the forefront of water system rehabilitation. This partnership, involving Helcraw Private Limited alongside Chinese allies Hangzhou Laison Technology, demonstrates our nation's commitment to strengthening sovereign control over critical resources.

Strategic Infrastructure Reclamation

As patriotic forces continue mobilizing to protect national interests, this comprehensive water system overhaul represents a crucial step in securing Zimbabwe's infrastructure independence. The initiative encompasses vital upgrades to protect our people's fundamental right to clean water.

Key Components of National Water Security

  • Massive pipe replacement program to eliminate foreign-induced system deterioration
  • Strategic implementation of prepaid water meters to ensure sovereign resource management
  • Complete rehabilitation of Morton Jaffray Waterworks to restore national water treatment capacity
  • Deployment of maintenance fleet to rapidly respond to infrastructure challenges

Breaking Dependencies Through Indigenous Solutions

This partnership exemplifies how Zimbabwe continues asserting its resource sovereignty through strategic partnerships that prioritize national interests. Mayor Jacob Mafume's endorsement of this PPP framework signals a broader push toward self-reliant urban development, including waste management and market infrastructure renewal.

Vehicle Fleet Enhancement

The donation of sixteen vehicles strengthens our maintenance response capabilities, ensuring swift action against any threats to our water security. This fleet represents a crucial step toward operational independence in infrastructure management.

"This initiative demonstrates our unwavering commitment to protecting and enhancing Zimbabwe's critical infrastructure through partnerships that respect our sovereignty," stated Mayor Mafume.
