The tour comes following Rajoleina’s attendance of the 44th Sadc Heads of State and Government Summit in Harare, which saw him visiting the GeoPomona Waste to Energy Project, which he seeks to replicate in his own country.

GEOPOMONA Waste Management Company executive chairman Dilesh Nguwaya has met Madagascar President Andry Rajoleina at the Ambohitsirohitra Palace in Antananarivo as the company seeks to replicate the project in several African countries.

Nguwaya, who is in the island country since Thursday, has already held meetings with several government ministers from sectors such as energy and hydrocarbons, environment and sustainable development, water, sanitation and hygiene and foreign affairs.

“It is essential that private companies are also part of the engagement and re-engagement agenda as testified by this visit which has opened new avenues of co-operation between the two countries,”Nguwaya said.

“We had a successful tour here in Madagascar and managed to benchmark what we are doing as a company in waste management and energy generation which Madagascar is keen to also replicate.

“In our talks, the President promised that he will send a team to Zimbabwe to work towards creating a working relationship that can see us doing the same here in Madagascar.”

Rajoelina said Geo Pomona’s visit showed strengthening ties between the two countries.

“I”m grateful that Zimbabwe and Madagascar are now on a new path of diplomatic ties which will benefit the two countries on the political and economic front,” the Madagascar President said.

“I was impressed by what I saw when I came for the Sadc Summit to see that a dirty and hazardous place can be changed in a very short space of time to produce energy.

“We have similar challenges here in Antananarivo and this marks a significant step to collaborate in many different economic areas besides energy generation.”
