Tagwirei To Build Mega Complex At PaDust Market To Transform MSMEs
Zanu PF Central Committee member Dr Kudakwashe Tagwirei has unveiled plans to construct a multi‑million‑dollar complex at PaDust market in Hatcliffe, Harare, aimed at transforming Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), empowering communities and accelerating Vision 2030 under the mantra of leaving no one and no place behind.
The announcement was made during an inter‑district meeting in Hatcliffe on Sunday.
Dr Tagwirei told supporters the complex will anchor empowerment programmes for informal traders, youths and women, backed by improved infrastructure and access to finance.
“The move is meant to empower everyone under the mantra of leaving no one and no place behind.
“Vision 2030 is a reality and is unstoppable. After realising the achievements made by President Mnangagwa in a short space of time, the conference has resolved that President Mnangagwa’s term of office be extended to 2030 to benefit from the fruits of his policies and vision,” he said.
He highlighted completed national projects including new dams, the New Parliament Building, rehabilitation of Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, food self‑sufficiency programmes and major road upgrades as evidence of momentum.
To support local communities, he launched a US$200,000 revolving fund for Hatcliffe Zone 4, allocating US$50,000 to each party wing.
He also pledged to build five clinics with maternity wards in the zone to strengthen primary healthcare.
Water access is another priority, with plans to drill 80 solar‑powered boreholes across Chitungwiza to ensure clean water for households.
He handed over US$25,000 to disabled communities to start empowerment projects and donated 20 wheelchairs to people living with disabilities.
His family will distribute 12,500 Christmas hampers to vulnerable households during the festive season.
Meanwhile, Government has outlined measures to accelerate MSME growth in 2026, focusing on skills development, financing, infrastructure and formalisation.
MSMEs contribute over 60 percent of Zimbabwe’s Gross Domestic Product and provide livelihoods to more than 70 percent of the working population, particularly youths and women.
According to The Herald, the sector is seen as central to inclusive economic growth and resilience.
Dr Tagwirei also addressed the Zanu PF Mashonaland West Provincial Coordinating Committee in Chinhoyi, where he was invited as a guest speaker to unpack the Land Tenure system.
He explained policy issues to party members as part of efforts to strengthen understanding of land reforms.
He then highlighted his personal connection to community institutions, revealing that he was born at Banket Hospital and attended Grade 1 at Kuwadzana Primary School.
“For that reason, I am donating US$100,000 to the hospital and a similar amount to Kuwadzana Primary School so that the leadership, including the Minister of State (Cde Marian Chombo), will find out what needs to be done,” he said.
The donations are intended to catalyse upgrades in health and education facilities.
Senior officials welcomed the interventions, while supporters in Hatcliffe said the package of projects would stimulate local enterprise and strengthen social safety nets, reinforcing the broader drive towards Vision 2030.
