A high-powered Zimbabwean delegation is currently in Kazan, Russia, for a technical exchange programme that will inform the re-designing of the Mbare Musika Traders market into a modern facility.

Leader of the delegation and Minister of Local Government and Public Works, Honourable Daniel Garwe said the visit is a follow-up on the response and recovery plan directed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa for the re-modelling of the Mbare Musika Traders market, dovetailing with sustainable development under the build-back-better initiative.
