Shurugwi South Member of Parliament, Wilson Mhuri, has called for a multi-stakeholder approach to address the urgent need for repairs on the Boterekwa Escarpment road. The appeal comes as the district awaits long-term refurbishment plans currently under consideration by the government.
Speaking to Great Dyke News, Mhuri, a qualified surveyor and road construction expert, emphasized the necessity of short-term interventions to ensure the safety of motorists and residents.
The urgency of the situation was underscored yesterday when residents and motorists encountered a gaping hole along the Zvishavane-Shurugwi highway, heightening safety concerns.
The mineral-rich region, known for extensive mining activities ranging from large-scale operations to artisanal and illegal mining, has long faced challenges with road infrastructure due to underground mining-related subsidence.
