Minister Mhona Inspects Key Matabeleland South Roads

By Everisto Zhuwao

The Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Felix Mhona, led a high-level inspection of major road networks in Matabeleland South Province on Thursday.

The tour focused on the Bulawayo–Kezi–Maphisa Road and the Bulawayo–Gwanda–Maphisa Road.

These routes are currently undergoing critical assessments and upgrades ahead of the national Zimbabwe Independence Day celebrations scheduled to be held in Maphisa in April.

Minister Mhona’s visit aimed to evaluate the progress of ongoing construction works and ensure that the infrastructure is ready for increased traffic during the upcoming celebrations.

The inspection forms part of a broader government strategy to fast-track development projects that connect rural communities with urban centres across Zimbabwe.

By assessing these key road sections, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development intends to identify areas that require urgent repairs and improvements to ensure safety, efficiency, and smooth travel for motorists and communities using the routes.
