EMA stops Marondera dam project
Jairos Saunyama ·
THE Environmental Management Agency (EMA) in Mashonaland East province has stopped construction of a multi-million-dollar dam in Marondera after the project was embarked on without an environmental impact assessment (EIA) certificate.
The dam is part of a million-dollar horticultural project jointly run by Churchill, Sambok farms, and outgrower farmers in the area.
Section 97 of the Environmental Management Act (20:27) demands that water sources must be constructed after going through EIA processes.
