President Mnangagwa has upgraded Beitbridge Town Council to municipal status following the border town's phenomenal growth in recent years and its strategic economic location.

The announcement was contained in a Statutory Instrument through a Government Gazette published last Friday. The town's status was reviewed in recognition of its strategic role in Zimbabwe's economic development.

The proclamation was made in terms of Section 4 (1) of the Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29:15).
