President Mnangagwa said completion of the project gives impetus to SADC’s Regional Development Master Plan – Vision 2027, which envisions well maintained and operated infrastructure that promotes seamless transport services in the region. These developments, he said, fitted into intra-regional and continental ideals encapsulated in the Africa Agenda 2063 of a more integrated, united and prosperous continent. One of the key expectations of *National Development Strategy 1* (NDS-1), said President Mnangagwa, was completion of the Beitbridge-Harare-Chirundu Highway when it lapses in 2025.
