The December issue of the World of Petroleum and Bitumen
The Bulawayo City Council is currently examining a proposal from Tendy Tree Investment (TTI), a vehicle parking management firm, to set up a bitumen production facility in the city.
Lizwe Mabuza, the director of TTI, disclosed that the company had presented its plan to the council, which was discussed and documented in official council minutes. However no formal decision or approval had been communicated by the council.
“We submitted our proposal to the council, and it has been reviewed and included in their minutes,” Mabuza stated during an interview. “We are now awaiting their approval to move forward with the project.”
The envisioned bitumen plant aims to create employment opportunities for Bulawayo’s residents while improving the city’s road infrastructure, including both the central business district and suburban areas. Highlighting the project’s potential impact, Mabuza—who is involved in multiple industries such as real estate, mining, agriculture, and security—underscored the importance of upgrading the city’s infrastructure.
A well-known entrepreneur, Mabuza owns properties in South Africa and other countries and manages over 2,000 employees in the security sector. He expressed readiness to commence work on the plant immediately upon receiving the council’s green light, emphasizing its dual benefits of enhancing road conditions and generating jobs for locals.
As of the time of writing, the Bulawayo City Council has not issued any statements or updates regarding the status of the proposal.
