THE stage has been set for the two-day Bulawayo Zim-Asset Conference at which the First Lady Grace Mugabe is expected to be the guest of honour.

Fifteen out of the 17 invited ministers had confirmed their attendance by afternoon yesterday for the Friday and Saturday event at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair’s Hall 3.

The ministers will explain how the city was and can continue benefiting from the government’s programmes.

The Minister of State for Provincial Affairs in Bulawayo Nomthandazo Eunice Moyo said the First Lady, as the mother of the nation, will lead cabinet ministers at the much anticipated conference.

She said people should brace for a lively interaction between Ministers and residents.

“This conference will be attended by people from the grassroots so we expect ministers to bring some of their officials who’ll interact with residents and demystify some of the technical terms,” she said.

Moyo said the conference will run under the theme “Consolidating Bulawayo’s Growth through Zim-Asset.”

Moyo said the conference was organised after it was realised that Bulawayo residents rarely get a platform to engage government officials.

She said this has deprived residents first-hand information on the government’s programmes and policies.
