Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Binga villagers facing eviction to pave way for the construction of the Gwayi-Shangani Dam have identified a piece of land in the Nakanono area, which they believe is suitable for their resettlement.<\/p>\n

The construction of the dam is set to displace around 2 000 villagers from Lubimbi in Binga.<\/p>\n

Dam committee chairperson, Edmond Sibanda, said government assessment had been completed, so was an agreement on the land the villagers would be relocated to. Sibanda said:<\/p>\n

Communities have agreed on Nakonono area, which is the former Kana Block farms. The land is near Shangani River, and is also close to the Victoria Falls-Bulawayo Road.<\/p>\n

However, we are still waiting for a response from the government.<\/p>\n

That is the land we want as a community and it is big enough to support meaningful livelihoods for all the affected communities.<\/p>\n

However, Lubimbi ward councillor Chrispen Munkuli said they were still debating the issue because the council has not yet visited the place for assessment. He added:<\/p>\n

We were advised that workers from the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency also have to visit the place and give a way forward on the valuation exercise.<\/p>\n

The government recently carried out an assessment on the value of the property which is likely to be affected by the expansion of the Gwayi-Shangani Dam in Lubimbi with a view to compensate the evictees in United States dollars.<\/p>\n

The Gwayi-Shangani Dam project, which is part of the Zambezi Water Project, is scheduled to be completed by December 2022.<\/p>\n
