Marondera RDC Begins Implementation Phase of the New District Master Plan
The transform community create a lasting impact. Following the successful conclusion of the public exhibition period and the subsequent approval by the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works, the Marondera Rural District Council (MRDC) is pleased to announce that the implementation phase of the new District Master Plan has officially begun. The Master Plan serves as our strategic blueprint for spatial planning, land use, and infrastructure development across the district for the next decade. Key priority areas for this initial rollout phase include the regularization of informal settlements, the zoning of new commercial hubs to attract investment, and the upgrading of core infrastructure at district growth points. The Council extends its gratitude to all residents, businesses, and stakeholders who submitted their representations during the exhibition period. Your input has been vital in shaping a vision that reflects the true needs and aspirations of the Marondera community.
Post-Rainy Season Road Rehabilitation Program Commences Across All Wards
As the rainy season concludes, the Marondera RDC Engineering and Technical Services Department has officially launched its annual post-rainy season road rehabilitation program. The heavy rains experienced earlier this year caused significant wear and tear on our rural road network, impacting the movement of goods, services, and people. Council grading equipment and maintenance teams have been deployed to prioritize high-traffic feeder roads that connect farming communities to major markets and highways. The first phase of the program is currently underway, focusing on roads that provide critical access to local clinics and schools. We kindly urge motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution when approaching roadwork zones. The Council remains committed to ensuring that our transport infrastructure is safe, accessible, and capable of supporting our vibrant agricultural economy.
Council Commissions New Solar-Powered Boreholes to Boost Safe Water Access
Access to clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and a core pillar of the Council’s service delivery mandate. To combat water scarcity and reduce the incidence of waterborne diseases, the Marondera Rural District Council recently commissioned a series of solar-powered boreholes across several underserved wards. These new installations represent a shift toward sustainable and climate-resilient water infrastructure. Unlike traditional hand-pump bush pumps, the solar-powered systems provide a higher yield of water with less physical strain on the community members, particularly women and children who often bear the burden of water collection. The Council is working closely with local Water-Point Committees to ensure the long-term maintenance and security of these vital community assets.
