We took a tour of Bulawayo CBD's most congested areas. We spoke to a few people about the conditions of the areas. Despite the areas problems, people are surviving and thriving. It is our hope, and we are sure the hope of all Bulawayo residents that Egodini will be opened soon, to relieve congestion on Bulawayo's streets and restore law and order. Please enjoy, subscribe and like our video. If and when Egodini opens, we will bring you a comprehensive tour. Siyabonga 🙏🏿. See abridged article below for more information about Egondini 👇🏿. follow link below for full article.
DRIVING on Bulawayo’s streets has become nightmarish as rowdy kombi crews violate road rules causing congestion. Areas such as Pick & Pay Hyper and roads such as 6th Avenue Extension and Herbert Chitepo streets from 5th Avenue to 11th Avenue have become un-trafficable and no-go areas for ordinary motorists as kombi crews have turned them into mini ranks.
While 6th Avenue is the perfect exit road for motorists using the City-Luveve Road, some have abandoned the route opting for longer routes such as driving using the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls road and turning just before Mpilo Central Hospital to reconnect into Luveve Road in Mzilikazi near Emachipsini. Those who decide to use the 6th Avenue exit route experience a torrid time and risk being involved in accidents. Experts say traffic jams threaten economic viability and exacerbates pollution and energy consumption.
The roads have become even more dangerous as the kombi crews are sometimes raided by police and they take off, driving even in the opposite lane. The chaos obtaining in the city center has partially been blamed on the delays in the redevelopment of Egodini Terminus which has closed for years.
Terracotta Trading Private Limited (TTPL) which is responsible for the redevelopment of Egodini has been struggling to implement the project. Since the project was handed to it for reconstruction in 2016, TTPL has failed to meet deadlines that it sets for completing the project. In January 2023 the contractor claimed that Egodini will be opened for vendors and taxis before rescheduling the reopening to 1st March 2023. TTPL has missed deadlines before, however we hope traffic in the city will be relieved once Egodini opens.
