MPs called for the immediate rehabilitation of the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ), citing pressure from the expanding mining sector on roads and infrastructure. The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport, chaired by Tawanda Karikoga, highlighted overloading of trucks and deteriorating highways. MPs plan to engage the Mutapa Investment Fund to review NRZ’s revival strategy. Lawmakers stressed functional rail transport is critical for economic growth.
