I challenge the Fund to think outside the box and roll out other projects, investments and partnerships that will further stimulate production and productivity in various sectors of the economy, including in the commercialisation of new innovations coming out of our institutions of higher learning,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n<p>He directed the Fund to develop commercial properties in all parts of the country, including at district and ward levels to accelerate rural industrialisation and modernisation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
