The City of Gweru is experiencing significant economic revitalisation following a US$2.7 million investment to refurbish Go Beer Breweries, which has reopened after a decade-long closure.
The revived brewery, operated by the Gweru City Council, is being hailed as a major milestone in the Second Republic's efforts to boost production, promote local enterprise, and create jobs in line with Vision 2030.
Speaking during the commissioning of the refurbished plant, Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Owen Ncube, said the project exemplifies the Government's commitment to fostering business growth and service delivery at the local level.
"This project shows how Government has created a stable climate for business growth and employment creation, as evidenced by over 90 locals now employed here," Ncube said.
"Councils must deliver quality service in line with the President's call to action - no compromise on service delivery. Local authorities are mandated to spearhead development in their communities. The revival of this brewery reflects President Mnangagwa's vision that 'Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo' as we stride towards Vision 2030."
Go Beer Breweries Chief Executive Officer, Edward Rusike, expressed optimism about the plant's reopening, saying it would contribute meaningfully to Gweru's local economy.
"We are excited to celebrate the reopening of Go Beer Breweries after ten years of closure. This milestone not only creates employment for locals but also generates revenue for the city's upkeep and service delivery," Rusike said.
"The Government's support has provided a conducive environment for sustainable community development, and we are proud to play our part in building the nation."
The refurbished facility is currently producing 15,000 litres of beer per day, with a potential capacity of 45,000 litres daily when operating at full scale.
Officials say the brewery's revival is expected to boost municipal revenues and serve as a model for local authority-led business initiatives across Zimbabwe.
