Zim pushes to join Kazungula Bridge project

Zimbabwe had initially been expected to take part in the project during its formative years in the early 2000s, but late president, Robert Mugabe pulled his country out apparently as he was unconvinced of its benefits. Other sources have said Mugabe’s sour relationship with former President Ian Khama contributed to the late leader’s exit.

Officiating at the launch of the Bridge today, President Mokgweetsi Masisi revealed that work was underway to include Zimbabwe in the landmark project.
