The meeting explored practical and sustainable solutions to some of the waste management challenges facing the City of Bulawayo, with particular focus on the deteriorating conditions at the Ngozi Mine dumpsite and the associated environmental, public health and social risks.
Geo Pomona’s experience in transforming the former Pomona dumpsite in Harare was presented as a tested local model demonstrating how public-private collaboration can support the transition from unmanaged dumpsites towards more sustainable waste management infrastructure.
The engagement underscored that addressing the challenges at Ngozi Mine will require a coordinated and inclusive approach bringing together central Government, the City of Bulawayo, the private sector, development partners and local communities.
We are here to protect our tomorrow!
