The government through the responsible ministry and also District Development Fund should immediately do something about the road which links Bulawayo and Tsholotsho as the road is now very dangerous to the travellers.
We travelled to Tsholotsho last week and the road is bad from Norwood near Bulawayo up to Tsholotsho town centre and we don’t even know whether the Members of Parliament and councillors in those areas use this dangerous road.
Villagers complained that the few vehicles which use the dangerous road are now taking advantage of the situation to charge fares which are way beyond their reach.
Some buses which used to service the route have since abandoned their traditional passengers choosing to join Zupco in Bulawayo to service the Bulawayo suburbs.
When Members of Parliament were campaigning they promised to look into the issue but to the people’s surprise there is nothing which has been done up to now and the condition of that strip road is worsening and is putting the lives of people at risk.
The road is very dangerous especially at areas between Nyamandlovu and Tsholotsho and it is our hope that the government will urgently look into the matter.
