Zimbabwe: U.S.$475 000 for Great Zimbabwe Restoration

17 November 2018

The United States Government, through the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP), recently availed US$475 000 for preservation of the iconic Great Zimbabwe Monuments World Heritage Site. The development is, among other things, expected to pave way for restoration of the historic monuments for them to continue standing majestically for decades to come, while also paving the way for the installation of modern monitoring equipment to check wall movements, among other threats.

US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Brian Nichols and National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe executive director Dr Godfrey Mahachi together with World Museum Fund director Mr Stephene Battle took part in the signing ceremony of the preservation fund that was witnessed by Masvingo Provincial Affairs Minister Cde Ezra Chadzamira.
