“We will be at Mkoba Hall on Wednesday at 11.30 am before proceeding to MSU on Thursday where there is a media school, we expect to spend more time there. After the two meetings we will come back to Harare and we expect to visit the National University of Science and Technology and the small City Hall in Bulawayo,” he said.
