Newly appointed South Africa to Zimbabwe Ambassador Mphakama Mbete has said even though Zimbabwe is thirsty for development "it's not easy to get investors."
"Zimbabwe is a country that is determined to be successful and is thirsty to develop going forward from where it is now. I'm happy that the country is trying to rebuild its economy.
"This brings opportunities for South Africa and Zimbabwe to work together towards mutual objectives because both of us are building our economies as developing countries,".
He said South Africa was engaging various institutions in Bulawayo including the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) to discuss the way forward in reviving the economy.
"I had a meeting the other day with the Mayor of Bulawayo, Councillor Martin Moyo, to discuss these issues. I'm sure things will work out in the near future. Of course, it's not easy to get investors to come but we'll surely get there".
