The 435km Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Highway has now become a deathtrap due to potholes and massive damage to the road that links the second largest city and the country's premier tourist destination.
Driving on the road has become like dicing with death as drivers have to navigate long, rutted and dangerous stretches which make it unfit for use by the travelling public.
From Bulawayo all the way to Victoria Falls, the road is bad.
Where there are no stretches of deep potholes, some right in the middle of the highway, the road is badly rough, irregular and uneven.
Potholes are a safety risk for all road users.
Apart from the risks of tyre blow-outs, rim or suspension damage to vehicles and accidents, potholes impose a huge cost on vehicles maintenance.
In economic terms, potholes also a have a huge economic cost by slowing down or discouraging tourists, business or investors.
Government says it is moving to revamp the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls hughway as well as the 320km Beitbridge-Bulawayo road, which is also badly potholed and damaged.
Currently, government is finishing the rehabilitation of the 586km Beitbridge-Harare highway.
This project includes the Harare-Chirundu road.
Zimbabwe's roads have collapsed, together with other infrastructure, due to the protracted economic woes.
The country has been destroyed by leadership, governance and policy failures, compounded by exogenous factors.
NOT DIGGERS AND DEALERS…The Citizens representatives have been chosen by communities across Zimbabwe. It’s so exciting that we have credible representatives for Parliament and Council.
Whoever is after self gain or self care will not serve in the new!
Whoever uses money and trinkets to buy citizens or bribe voters can’t serve.
Whoever is tainted, compromised or plays for the other team can’t serve!
Zimbabwe needs change and deserves truly new leaders!
Blessings to you!
TIME & CHANCE HAPPEN ..The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 It’s our chance & time! Blessed sabbath!

@nelsonchamisa President Victoria Falls has most corrupted cllrs hiding behind ur name , pliz look into this n remember we lost 2 wards during by elections.
No voters roll, no proper delimitation report and now @ZECzim has no machines to register people. Most centres only managed to get 10 people registered.
This is a well calculated move to reduce the number of new voters.
Here is an ANC official endorsing Zimbabwe's main opposition CCC in South Africa.
ANC has often stood by ZANU-PF, but it seems party insiders are now beginning to realise that the root problem of the perennial Zimbabwean crisis is the misgovernance by ZANU-PF.
@MYANC
