GOVERNMENT has pledged to expedite the construction of Glassblock Bopoma Dam in Insiza District, Matabeleland South, which is set to alleviate water challenges in Bulawayo and usher in rural industrialisation through irrigation projects.
The dam, with a projected holding capacity of 130 million cubic metres, is being constructed through a public private partnership (PPP).
The dam is strategically located at the intersection of Gwanda, Umzingwane and Filabusi districts and is expected to boost bulk water supplies for local communities.
