Bulawayo–Vic Falls road fix drags as doubts grow over deadline

Everyone doubts the state can actually finish this massive highway repair job on time. Fears are rising that the Bulawayo–Victoria Falls road overhaul will miss the deadline because progress is crawling. Crews have only opened roughly forty-five kilometers of the massive stretch, sometimes celebrating tiny five-kilometer completions while the rest remains a disaster.

Jabulani Hadebe from Nkayi South blasted the timeline, claiming officials always miss targets due to shadiness or incompetence. He listed failures on routes like Bulawayo–Nkayi and Bulawayo–Tsholotsho as proof. The legislator vowed to pressure the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance to release funds faster since delays usually happen when money dries up.

Effie Ncube argues the current snail pace is insulting, considering this artery connects trade to Zambia and Botswana. He insisted that bosses need to supervise harder. A separate expert warned that builders lack heavy gear or capital, meaning operations freeze whenever the administration pays late.

Richard Moyo from Matabeleland North claims everything is running smoothly regardless of the hate. He insists workers started last year and should finish soon if the rain stops wrecking the schedule. He admitted wet weather paused things, but swore the teams would return once the mud hardened.
