Harare mayor Herbert Gomba has challenged government to avail funds towards decongesting Harare roads, saying the situation was unattainable, with traffic accidents now rampant.
Gomba said this after touring road rehabilitation programmes in the city, Gomba highlighted that the government should help the local authority deal with potholes and decongest traffic through the construction of traffic circles and flyovers.
Said Gomba:
We have projects that ought to be financed by government. We are appealing to the Ministry of Transport to assist.I am talking about the project to decongest the Mbudzi roundabout, government should play ball and ensure that we have a flyover so that traffic, be it commercial or private that would be in transit, does not mix with the local vehicles. We are losing business because of this congestion
