The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has released a comprehensive list of awarded tenders, detailing project names, contractors, and exact contract sums in United States dollars — a rare public disclosure that many have hailed as a significant step towards transparency.
Posting on X on 13 July 2025, government spokesperson Nick Mangwana stated:
“The Ministry of Transport had published a NOTICE OF TENDER AWARDS. In it they publish which company got which contract and the cost of each project. Talk of transparency and accountability.”
The public notice, titled Amended Public Notice: Notice of Award for Tenders (1st Quarter), covers dozens of projects across the country. These include major roadworks, office renovations, procurement of construction equipment, and supply of essential tools.
Big projects, big figures
Some of the largest contracts include:
-
Periodic maintenance works on Inyathi & Bandewa Road awarded to Mozambwe Asphalt for US$1,591,336.00 (approx. R29.5 million).
-
Uzumbezia Independence Venue Grounds, handled by Double Plat Resources, at US$1,581,280.00 (approx. R29.3 million).
-
Rehabilitation of Kadoma-Chakari Road, awarded to Moreblessing Resources for US$1,556,374.00 (approx. R28.9 million).
The biggest single equipment supply deal is the US$1,992,000.00 (approx. R36.9 million) contract for the supply and installation of an asphalt plant by ZADA.
ZADA emerges as top contractor
ZADA Construction dominated the awards list, scooping several high-value projects, including:
-
Rehabilitation of Headlands-Nyazura Road for US$1,542,452.00 (approx. R28.6 million).
-
Rehabilitation of Murehwa Road for US$1,539,752.80 (approx. R28.6 million).
-
Installation of SKW System at VID Depots under two separate contracts worth over US$3.2 million combined (approx. R59 million).
-
Construction of roads for Bungalo School of Intelligence at US$1,280,000.00 (approx. R23.7 million).
Security, envelopes and potholes included
Not all contracts were in the millions. For instance:
-
Supply and delivery of registered envelopes went to ZimPost for US$25,200.00 (approx. R467,000).
-
Guard services were split across multiple companies and provinces, with each contract valued around US$198,716.00 (approx. R3.7 million).
-
Pothole patching and resealing, a hot issue for motorists, was awarded to La Piazza T/A La Squares for US$1,526,197.00 (approx. R28.3 million).
The publication of these figures in full is being seen by some observers as a rare instance of transparency in a sector often shrouded in opacity.
Whether this will become a consistent practice remains to be seen.
