Checheche working towards town status

CHECHECHE growth point in Chipinge is set to be transformed into a town soon as the local authority seeks to leverage on growth largely spurred by the Chisumbanje ethanol project.

As part of the programme, Chipinge Rural District Council has already engaged eight private land developers to roll out more than 3 000 residential stands at the bustling business growth point.

One of the developers, Zimbabwe Amalgamated Housing Association (Zaha), last week held a ground-breaking ceremony for 500 medium-density residential stands at the site.
