Govt faces P710m Kazungula funding gap

Funded by loans from the African Development Bank, the Japan International Cooperation Agency ( JICA) as well as                contributions from both Zambia and Botswana governments, the project’s ground breaking was initially scheduled for last month.

But the construction of the multi-billion Pula Kazungula Bridge is now only likely to begin towards the end of the year after JICA pulled out of the project over a ten- der valuation dispute.
