The coronavirus disease, COVID – 19, outbreak continues to be dominant worldwide, which developments are a cause of concern.
We commiserate with those whose families have succumbed to the virus, which development is also threatening the real economy, supplies and demands.
Gratitude is extended to the World Health Organisation, our Government and other worldwide authorities and interested parties for keeping us apprised of developments and safety recommendations for adoption.
It is commendable that scientists are tirelessly researching and developing therapies and vaccines for trial, the success of which we all pray for. In the intervening time, Zero Harm is everyone’s responsibility. Guided by the safety recommendations, every individual should take responsibility for preventing the spread of COVID – 19 thus lessening the risk at our workplaces and communities.
As Masimba Holdings Limited, we are committed to Zero Harm and one of our behaviours is Caring. Accordingly, we take responsibility for the safety and well-being of our valued Team Masimba, clients, communities and other stakeholders. A response team at Head Office that is headed by our SHEQ Manager and linked to designated representatives at all our sites projects, has been established to monitor developments for timeous responses.
Some of the safety precautions in implementation company-wide are:
We urge all stakeholders to collaborate with us in keeping everyone safe from COVID – 19.
Together, we can be safe!
The Chimanimani area has been experiencing heavy rains since the beginning of the rainy season. In the early hours of 30 January 2021, a small river changed its course upstream after an existing culvert was blocked by debris. This resulted in water undermining the road just before the culvert, causing a section of the Wengezi Chimanimani road to collapse at the 69km peg. A ditch that is an estimated 3m deep and 3m wide, and impassable to traffic, was created. Preliminary investigations indicate that the collapse may also have been aggravated by an underground stream.
It is with sadness that we also inform you that a motorist travelling in the early hours of the morning of 30 January 2021, unaware of the state of the road, drove into the ditch and regrettably passed away. Our condolences go out to the family.
Masimba Holdings Limited carried out extensive rehabilitation works on the Skyline Chimanimani road following damages caused by Cyclone Idai in 2019. The scope of the contracted works on the affected section was confined to resealing.
Meanwhile, we have mobilised equipment to open a detour to allow vehicles to pass while we carry out repair works as per the Department of Roads engineering designs issued on 30 January 2021.

Masimba is proud to be associated with the Dance Trust of Zimbabwe. Annually, we erect a stage for the Starlight Dancing performances. This is a partnership that has stood the test of time since 2004. Over 100 men and women performed well choreographed dances from 26-28 September 2019 in the garden of the National Ballet Centre, Harare, Zimbabwe, to a wide range of audiences. It is an honour to play a part in keeping dance alive and creating entertainment in our nation.
On learning of the plight of our fellow countrymen in Manicaland due to the effects of Cyclone Idai, we immediately availed a TLB, Excavator and a standby DPF to support this equipment to be used in opening access roads, evacuating people and any other purposes as deemed fit.
