BY BAYANDA NKATHA

Stakeholders from Nkayi District have gathered in Bulawayo for the inaugural Nkayi Diaspora Investment Indaba, which kicked off this Thursday morning at the Zimbabwe Art Gallery.

The event has drawn various stakeholders, including heads of government departments, traditional leaders, Diaspora-based business people, humanitarian organizations such as Amalima Loko and others.

The district is seeking to court investors for various projects and service delivery, with the aim of addressing the area’s marginalization and development challenges.

Nkayi is one of the districts that has lagged behind in terms of development, with its two major connecting roads – Bulawayo-Nkayi and Kwekwe-Nkayi-Lupane – deteriorating to an extent that driving has become a nightmare.

However, the district has huge potential, boasting vast natural resources, including rich agricultural soils, water, the upcoming Ziminya Dam, sand abstraction, timber, beekeeping, and more.

Its proximity to Gokwe, Lupane, Binga, and Kwekwe makes Nkayi a strategic market district.

“We are very encouraged by the enthusiastic response from individuals, local and international businesses that are already pledging support for these initiatives. It is a really positive sign and reflects a widespread and genuine interest for investing in the future of rural communities,” said Dominic Graham, Amalima Loko’s Chief of Party.

“We expect that this collaborative platform will support the health and education of children in these communities as well as helping to create meaningful partnerships between businesses, individuals and communities that will endure long after the event has closed,” Graham added.
