Construction of Kazungula bridge delayed

Instead of the project commencing this January as was initially planned it has been postponed to end of 2011.

Zimbabwe pulled out of the agreement to construct the Kazungula Bridge late last year, citing reasons that they do not have any common boundary with Botswana where the bridge is supposed to be constructed although a memorandum of understanding had been signed. The public relations officer in the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Amangwe Madisakwane, confirmed this in an interview with The Monitor.
