It is very disappointing that such a major river continues to claim lives every rainy season. This is a vital route connecting Chilonga, Chiredzi, Chikombedzi, and the surrounding communities, yet people continue to risk their lives just to cross.
The authorities should engage qualified professionals to construct a safe, durable bridge that meets proper engineering standards. Such a bridge would not only save lives but also improve transport, trade, and economic activity across the region.
Sir Wicknell we know your commitment to supporting communities. Please consider intervening and helping make this long-overdue project a reality.
Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa the people of Chilonga and the surrounding areas deserve better. We respectfully appeal to you to ensure these communities are included in the country's Vision 2030 development agenda through the construction of a permanent bridge.
The people of these communities deserve a lasting solution—not another rainy season filled with avoidable tragedy. Every life matters.
This People they are honest with they votes to you,
These are areas where you win with massive numbers
