On 10 January this year, the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Plant (HCB), in partnership with the Indian company Jindal Africa and the National Roads Administration (ANE), signed a memorandum of understanding with a view to rehabilitating 117 kilometres of road on the Songo-Matambo route in the central province of Tete.
According to a statement, work is due to start in July, and the initiative aims to guarantee the safety and transitability of people, goods and work equipment used in the electricity and coal mining sectors.
“During the ceremony to sign the memorandum, the parties agreed that they will endeavour to ensure that around 80 percent of the work is carried out by December, with ANE and the Road Fund committing to working efficiently and effectively to deliver the project within the established deadlines,” the document revealed.
“This work is part of HCB’s goals, which aim to create the necessary conditions for safe transport,” he concluded.
