Top Chegutu school rejects Chinese cement plant in its environs

A PRIVATE school in Chegutu, Mashonaland West province, has opposed plans by a Chinese firm to construct a cement manufacturing plant close to its premises.

In a statement, Bryden Country School argued that Shuntai Investments (Pvt) Ltd’s proposed cement plant will expose learners to noise, air and water pollution given its proximity to the project site.

Reports indicate that the company began operations in late January this year and is constructing staff quarters.
