    Default US to build $200 million embassy compound in Harare

    THE US government will this year begin the construction of a new Embassy compound in Harare valued at $199 million.

    This comes after the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) awarded a tender to B.L. Harbert, International of Birmingham, Alabama for the construction work.

    The new Embassy will be located on a 16.5-acre site in the Bluff Hill area. The complex will include an office building and associated support facilities.

    US ambassador to Zimbabwe, Bruce Wharton, revealed this information in Harare recently.

    He told delegates at an embassy function that the decision was a sign of US government’s commitment to improve relations between the two countries.

    “We continue to believe in the promise of our ideals. And, we continue to believe that we can build a future that honors those ideals. That same optimism guides our approach to Zimbabwe,” said Wharton.

    “We continue to believe in the future of US–Zimbabwe relations, so we are embarking on a multi-million dollar project to build a new embassy compound, a project that will create jobs and skills, boost Harare’s economy, and serve as a

    clear expression of our commitment to Zimbabwe.”

    The US-Zimbabwe relationship has been strained for years, and President Robert Mugabe often turns the rhetoric up against what he says are “imperialists”.

    When you google "waste of money", this should be the first result.
