Mwale to launch 3 smart cities in Africa after inaugural Marathon in Kenya

The construction will follow MMTC's inaugural Marathon scheduled to take place on December 16th, 2023, at MMTC in  Butere Sub County, Kakamega County.

The marathon,  the first international for MMTC is expected to attract 3,000 runners , who will compete in the 1 mile , 5 km, 10 km, 21 km and 42 km categories.

 Prizes of upto Ksh.3.5 million are up for grabs for the winners, according to the event page on the MMTC's website, where registration for race participants is underway.

After the Marathon race, MMTC will proceed with launching the construction of 3 new smart cities in West, Central and Southern Africa as part of an expansion plan across the continent.

The  equipment from MMTC’s general contractor being shipped to Brazzaville, Gaborone and Free Town  have a capacity to build multiple cities simultaneously. 

“The equipment consists of over two dozen cranes and other high technology construction technologies, that will accelerate the timelines for the construction of new smart cities, that will help MMTC reach a target of constructing 18 smart cities in 12 countries by 2050,” MMTC said in a statement.

Some of the equipment to be shipped in Kenya will be deployed for the construction of large scale affordable housing projects. 

The expansion of MMTC to other parts of Africa comes after the completion of the MMTC project in Kenya which is currently operational. 

MMTC in Kenya is anchored by Hamptons hospital which opened in 2019 and treats Kenyans and medical tourists. 

The new City in the Brazaville-Kinshasa metro area will be anchored by Hamptons Hospital and will enhance universal healthcare and medical tourism in Central Africa
