Speaking during the commissioning of stands developed by CBZ Bank on Thursday last week, Victoria Falls mayor Sifiso Mpofu revealed that Victoria Falls Municipality had applied for city status.
Said Mpofu:
As you may be aware, the Victoria Falls Municipality is gunning for city status and this desire is premised on the town’s rapid growth as evidenced by such projects as this one. I have no doubt that, as a town, we have your full support in this endeavour.
In response, Local Government deputy minister Christopher Chingosho said that Government will consider making Victoria Falls the seventh city in Zimbabwe.
