Ward 14 road developments – latest pictures & information

Posted on by Friends Of Pakati

I recently heard from Oscar Bumhe (Road Project Chairman) about the ongoing road development which affects residents of Ward 14, Murewa (see https://friendsofpakati.com/2020/10/18/developments-in-ward-14-home-of-pakati-schools/ ). Below are some of the images he sent to me (thank you!) showing the progress they are making. Enjoy!

“This is one area that has been troubling us for years, as it was difficult passing through during the rainy season”.

This area is Mukurazhizha area, 2km from the tarred road. The development began where the shops are are, at the 44-mile marker along the Harare-Mutoko road.

Here are a couple if short videos of the work being done…

Here is what the finished product looks like. Two areas have now been completed, with 3 remaining.

It is great news for local residents and businesses to have these improvements to the infrastructure, making transport easier, especially during the seasonal rains. Still s fair bit to do, but progress is definitely being made.
