Bulawayo City Council (BCC) has closed off from members of the public the Main Post Office Gardens following the collapse of the veranda roof a few weeks ago.
Experts deemed the whole roof enclosure as potentially unstable and a danger to the public leading to the council closing off the whole place until repairs have been carried out and the place deemed safe again.
In a statement released by the town clerk Mr Christopher Dube, the local government authority said:
