The President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Mnangagwa has officially given greenlight to tourists who want to visit the Kazungula Bridge.

Minister of Information Monica Mutsvangwa revealed the good news while addressing the members of the media fraternity yesterday.

However, the president says only fully vaccinated tourists will be allowed to visit the Kazungula Bridge.

“Cabinet approved a request by the tourism industry to open the Victoria Falls and Kazungula Border Posts to tourists who are fully vaccinated. This is in view of the realisation that over 60% of the population in Vic Falls has been vaccinated,” said Mutsvangwa.

In early May, Botswana and Zambia in Southern Africa officially opened the US $260m Kazungula bridge.

Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi and Zambian President Edgar Lungu presided over the ceremony to mark the opening of Kazungula.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Felix Tshisekedi, Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi and Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa also attended the ceremony.
