Manicaland District Investment Proposals

An in-depth look at ZITIT's upcoming and proposed projects for targeted growth across the Eastern Highlands.

Zone Profile: Mutare Urban - The Eastern Gateway

As the provincial capital and a key gateway to Mozambique, Mutare is a hub of commerce, logistics, and administration. Its strategic location presents significant opportunities in cross-border trade, warehousing, and commercial property development.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our proposals for Mutare aim to solidify its role as a logistical hub. We will focus on developing infrastructure that facilitates trade and providing high-quality commercial and residential real estate to support the city's growth.

City of Mutare

Upcoming & Proposed ZITIT Projects

  • Project Proposal: ZITIT Bonded Warehousing & Logistics Hub Feasibility Stage
    Develop a secure, modern warehousing facility near the Forbes border post for storage and consolidation of cross-border freight. Justification: Taps into the high volume of trade with Mozambique, providing a critical, in-demand service.
  • Project Proposal: Urban Residential Development Concept Stage
    Construct a gated community of medium-density townhouses and garden flats for professionals working in the city. Justification: Addresses the growing demand for modern, secure housing in Mutare.

Zone Profile: Chipinge & Chimanimani - The Agricultural Powerhouse

These southern districts are blessed with fertile soils and ideal climatic conditions, making them the heartland of Zimbabwe's high-value horticultural exports, including macadamia nuts, coffee, tea, and avocados. The area also boasts breathtaking landscapes perfect for eco-tourism.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our strategy is to invest directly in high-yield agriculture and develop tourism infrastructure. We aim to establish ZITIT as a major producer of export-quality crops and a key player in the region's tourism revival.

Macadamia Plantation

Upcoming & Proposed ZITIT Projects

  • Project Proposal: ZITIT Macadamia & Coffee Estates Land Acquisition Stage
    Acquire and develop large-scale plantations for macadamia nuts and coffee, focusing on export markets. Justification: A long-term, high-return investment in globally sought-after commodities.
  • Project Proposal: Chimanimani Eco-Lodges Concept Stage
    Build and operate a series of environmentally friendly tourist lodges and hiking support services in the Chimanimani mountains. Justification: Capitalizes on the area's unique natural beauty and the growing global demand for eco-tourism.

Zone Profile: Nyanga - The Highland Jewel

Famed for its cool climate, rolling hills, and stunning vistas, Nyanga is Zimbabwe's premier local tourism destination. It has significant potential in hospitality, trout farming, and the cultivation of temperate fruits like apples, pears, and stone fruits.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our proposals for Nyanga are centered on high-end hospitality and specialized agriculture. We intend to create premium tourism experiences and tap into niche agricultural markets that thrive in the unique local climate.

Upcoming & Proposed ZITIT Projects

    Develop a luxury hotel and wellness spa catering to both local and international tourists seeking a premium highland experience. Justification: Fills a gap in the high-end hospitality market in Nyanga.
  • Project Proposal: Commercial Trout Farming & Processing Feasibility Stage
    Establish a large-scale trout farm with a dedicated processing and packaging facility to supply hotels and supermarkets nationwide. Justification: A high-value, niche product with strong and consistent market demand.

Zone Profile: Buhera & Makoni - The Resource Heartland

These districts form the agricultural and mineral backbone of the western part of the province. They are known for robust livestock production (cattle and goats), significant grain cultivation, and rich mineral deposits, including lithium and diamonds.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our strategy is to invest in value-addition for agricultural products and to enter the lucrative mining services sector. This allows us to support and profit from the primary economic activities of these districts.

    Establish a company providing essential services to mining operations, such as equipment rental (tipper trucks, excavators), geological surveying, and contract labor. Justification: A lower-risk entry into the mining sector by servicing the big players rather than direct exploration.
  • Project Proposal: Livestock Feed Production Plant Feasibility Stage
    Set up a plant to produce affordable, high-quality stockfeed using locally sourced grains. Justification: Supports the local livestock industry, reduces costs for farmers, and creates a profitable manufacturing business.
