Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74799, member: 636"] A lawmaker from Binga South wants the government to throw actual money at Zambezi Valley communities in next year's budget because the area keeps getting ignored despite having economic value. Fanuel Cumanzala told reporters that residents deal with terrible roads, barely any health clinics, almost no electricity, limited clean water access, and schools that kids have to walk forever to reach. Wildlife keeps wrecking crops and killing livestock, but nobody gets compensation when elephants or lions trash their stuff. Climate disasters hit hard, and there's zero dedicated funding for adaptation or emergency response. The politician is pushing for a protected development fund, better rural water systems, climate-proof farming support, upgraded health and education services, plus improved digital connectivity and road infrastructure instead of just getting lumped into national averages.
