A site for the construction of a new town in Masvingo Province has been identified at Tokwe Murkosi Dam.

Masvingo State Minister Josaya Dunira Hungwe yesterday said he was under pressure from Chinese investors who were eager to fund the construction of the town.

Hungwe said the town would stretch from the dam to Ngundu Business Centre.

“I am under relentless pressure from investors who are eager to finance the construction of the new town.

We are therefore making frantic efforts to finalise the necessary paperwork,” said Hungwe.
