As Tugwi Mukosi Dam reaches 82% capacity, Zimbabwe stands on the cusp of a major economic transformation. This vast inland water body, the largest in the country, is rapidly positioning itself as a key driver of investment in tourism, agriculture, aquaculture, and infrastructure development. With the Tugwi Mukosi Master Plan finalized and awaiting its grand launch, entrepreneurs and investors have a rare opportunity to claim a stake in this emerging economic hub.
Against this backdrop, March 7, 2025, will mark a significant moment as women entrepreneurs from across Zimbabwe gather at Tugwi Mukosi Lake to celebrate International Women’s Day. Under the theme “Accelerate Action for Socioeconomic Development,” the event will not only honor women’s contributions to business but also highlight the vast investment opportunities available in the region. The celebration will bring together business leaders, policymakers, and industry players
to discuss how Tugwi Mukosi can drive sustainable economic growth and unlock new business frontiers.
The Master Plan envisions Tugwi Mukosi as a premier tourism and investment destination, presenting structured opportunities in hospitality, eco-tourism, adventure activities, and commercial fisheries. Investors can explore developing lakeside resorts, boating services, conference centers, and water sports ventures that take advantage of the dam’s scenic beauty. The rising water levels also create massive potential for large-scale aquaculture and irrigation farming, opening doors for agribusiness expansion. Additionally, infrastructure development—from road networks to recreation centers and business hubs—is expected to attract major private sector participation.
The upcoming event will offer attendees an immersive experience that blends business and leisure. A boat cruise on the lake, networking sessions, music, and a lakeside retreat will create an inspiring atmosphere for discussing investment strategies while also celebrating the progress of women in business. Fishing expeditions will highlight aquaculture’s potential, reinforcing the dam’s role as a key economic resource. Transport will be provided from Masvingo Town to Tugwi Mukosi and back, ensuring accessibility for all participants. The dress code—jeans and a white shirt—symbolizes unity, resilience, and the collective drive for economic empowerment.
With the Master Plan’s official unveiling on the horizon, now is the time for investors, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to position themselves for opportunities in Tugwi Mukosi’s development. This is more than just an event—it is a call to action for all forward-thinking individuals ready to capitalize on a region set to redefine Zimbabwe’s economic landscape.
