Parliamentary business could soon be conducted in Mt Hampden amid revelations that the Chinese-made new House of Assembly facility is almost complete.
According to the Office of Presidential Communications Zimbabwe, completion of the new Mt Hampden building is now at 96% with the inside fully furnished and some ‘finishing touches’ remaining.
The presidential department also revealed that the projected timelines for the completion of the facility were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in slight delays.
Captioning the pictures of the building on social media, the Presidential Communications said:
“H.E. President Emmerson Mnangagwa said in the 2nd Republic, all running projects & new ones should be completed in time. The New Parliament Building timelines were affected by Covid-19. Building is now 96% complete, with the inside fully furnished & left are finishing touches outside.
“The building is well grounded in our national heritage with a fountain representing Vic Falls, the Conical Tower, Zimbabwe Birds, stone works, Gt Zim chevron, Khami checkerboard and Danamombe Fish Bone designs. It exhibits many symbols from Zimbabwe’s pre-colonial capitals.”
