On Monday, February 28, 2022, Zimbabwe’s local government minister, July Moyo, Harare City Council’s representatives and some government officials signed a draft agreement with Netherlands-registered company Geogenix BV. Some believe the deal is a bad one.
The signatories are Moyo, Harare City Council’s legal adviser Warren Chiwawa; Lixon Chikumbirike of the Attorney General’s office; acting Harare town clerk Phakamile Mabhena Moyo, Geogenix BV’s Zimbabwe representative Dilesh Nguwaya, local government director Fungai Samuel Mbetsa, and Miliad Lopa, an Albanian national and president of the International Consulting Agency.
The document says the company will invest US$344 million in a waste-to-energy project at the Pomona dumpsite north of Harare. It aims to generate 22 megawatts of electricity to be sold to state-owned power utility ZESA when fully functional.
