SABI Star Mine, a lithium-producing asset partly owned by the Chengxin Lithium Group of China, says it has set aside US$1,2 million to complement the District Development Fund (DDF) in infrastructure development in Buhera this year.
In a statement yesterday Chengxin said the funds would be for the upgrade of the road from Gaza Business Centre to Sabi Star Mine on Bepe Hills, in Mukwasi and Tagarira villages.
“The funds will be used to grade and resurface the entire 28,5 km gravel road, and repair all bridges and culverts.
“We will put new signage along the entire stretch of the road and improve safety features where the road passes through schools and communities.
“The road will serve as the main access to Sabi Star Mine but will benefit all the communities along the way.
“Easy access will open up the business centres to more business as transportation of goods will be much easier,” read the statement.
