City Orders Residents to Undo Unsanctioned Road Repairs
Bulawayo demands that residents restore the roads to their previous dilapidated state as if the unauthorized repairs had never taken place.
Bulawayo Town Clerk Christopher Dube has stirred up quite a storm among Bulawayo residents with his outrageous decree, commanding them to cease all attempts at repairing the city’s extensively damaged roads without obtaining prior permission, lest they face legal consequences.
Furthermore, the directive demands that residents restore the roads to their previous dilapidated state as if the unauthorized repairs had never taken place.
In a statement, Dube emphasized that it is solely the responsibility of the local authority to address road repairs within their jurisdiction.
Much like in other urban areas across Zimbabwe, the roads in Bulawayo have become a treacherous labyrinth of enormous potholes, posing significant challenges to motorists attempting to navigate them.
Vehicle owners have expressed their frustrations about the constant need to mend their car suspensions due to the ceaseless damage inflicted by these crumbling roadways.
