Bulawayo Mayor David Coltart yesterday had a highly productive meeting this evening with His Worship the Mayor of Johannesburg Kabelo Gwamanda.
The two mayors discussed how the two Cities can cooperate better in future. Coltart has invited Gwamanda to visit Bulawayo soon.
"I had a highly productive meeting this evening with His Worship the Mayor of Johannesburg Kabelo Gwamanda. We discussed how our two great Cities can cooperate better in future. I have invited the Mayor to visit Bulawayo soon," said Coltart on his X account.
Coltart and the council's business development committee chairperson Cllr Mxolisi Mahlangu are currently in Johannesburg, South Africa for a series of meetings with Zimbabwean business persons who are keen on setting up business in the city.
The trip is the initiative of the Joshua Nkomo Foundation, South Africa chapter (JNFSA), who approached Cllr Coltart as they seek to revive the city as an industrial hub.
Due to the illegal economic sanctions and a dire water situation in the Bulawayo, a number of companies either closed shop or relocated to other cities, resulting in churches taking over the premises abandoned by closed companies.
The Second Republic has taken a deliberate stance to return the city to it's status as an industrial hub with a considerable number of companies opening up businesses or being revived.
Also accompanying Mayor Coltart and Cllr Mhlanga is the City's economic development officer Mr Kholisani Moyo.
