The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) allocates $14 million for rehabilitation The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) has allocated $14 million for the rehabilitation of the city’s road infrastructure, which has been suffering from deteriorating conditions caused by aging and insufficient maintenance due to limited resources. According to a Road Condition survey, approximately 80% of the city’s road network is in need of rehabilitation and reconstruction. In 2021, the government initiated the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme (ERRP) to renovate roads nationwide. Bulawayo council members have expressed disapproval of the government-contracted firms involved in ERRP, citing subpar workmanship, and they believe the responsibility should have been entrusted to the local authority. As part of the upcoming 2024 budget totaling US$264 million, the Bulawayo City Council has designated US$14 million for road improvement projects. |
