Harare-Beitbridge dualisation deal opens can of worms

The cancellation of the Geiger International road dualisation deal has exposed that incompetence and corruption abounded in Government corridors amid revelations that the Austrian company is just a "briefcase" firm with no financial muscle to mobilise the required funding for the dualisation of the Beitbridge-Harare highway.
According to the Special Advisor to the President, Christopher Mutsvangwa, who was part of the delegation that accompanied President Mnangagwa to China, Geiger is just a briefcase company with no capacity to fund a $1 billion project.
He said Geiger officials had spent the past two years, since getting the deal, knocking on Chinese construction firms' doors begging for funding.
