In 2024, Diwali falls on November 12th. The survival centre in Phoenix has called for Diwali to be made a public holiday and replace Christmas and Boxing Day. These should be replaced by Eid and Diwali.
Conclusion

2. Chinese rail is cheaper and more efficient and more suitable for Zimbabwe.
3. Rail is the biggest game changer for Zimbabwe and should be planned holistically.
