Why national projects fail in Zimbabwe

AT the material time of writing this opinion piece a gamut of contractors in Zimbabwe who have been involved in numerous capital projects like construction are complaining bitterly about the government of Zimbabwe having failed to pay them for the work that they have done.

The contractors are having challenges with respect to meeting the employment costs for their workers and cannot at the same time have money for their statutory obligations because of government’s inability to pay them.

It is the intention of this opinion piece to go down the rabbit’s hole regarding national projects in Zimbabwe.
