This is the current situation at St Mary’s Bridge in Chitungwiza, a dormitory town next to Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare. Residents of this town are being forced to walk home on foot after the Zimbabwean police blocked kombis from going beyond the bridge. Kombis are minibus taxis commonly used for... public transport in Zimbabwe and are the main form of urban transport in the country. It is quite disheartening because Zimbabwe once had a thriving public transport system in all cities and towns, with buses comparable to those in many modern countries, but ZANUPF destroyed it. Chitungwiza, for instance, had a bus company called ZimElectro Motors (ZEM), which played a crucial role in providing affordable public transport for residents commuting between Chitungwiza and Harare during its operation. ZEM was owned by the Chitungwiza Town Council and was a municipally-run bus company established to provide affordable and reliable transport for residents of the town. However, when ZANUPF came into power, the company was driven into the ground. Money was looted, and unqualified managers were appointed. The rest, as they say, is history. Zimbabweans must realise that nobody is coming to save them from this abusive regime. Imagine people walking for kilometres simply because they are subjected to a useless and incompetent government that does not care about its citizens! Imagine walking from Elephant and Castle to the West End because the British Police has stopped available public transport after the government had destroyed London Underground ground and the London Transport buses or walking from Sandton City to Rosebank on foot.show more

In 1977, the colonial regime of Ian Smith was meant to kick start Harare (Salisbury) Chitungwiza (Seke) railway line. Which was meant mainly to be for a passenger commuter train. The colonial regime of Ian Smith has to postpone the plans for the Chitungwiza Commuter railway line. Because the African nationalists together with their respective guerilla mvts (ZANLA & ZIPRA), increased the costs of sustaining colonial oppression on the Smith regime. Nkomo and Mugabe made it expensive for the Smith regime to sustain the racist colonial project. Therefore, Smith and Rhodesia Front had to divert the money and resources meant for capital projects such as Chitungwiza passenger railway line, the dualisation of Beitbridge/Salisbury highway, to fund the increasingly expensive Rhodesian war efforts . Hwr, in 1980, Rhodesia bureaucrats left all the costed plans for capital projects such as Chitungwiza passenger railway line ,dualisation of Harare/Beitbridge highway to the incoming administration of ZANU PF and Robert Mugabe. Hwr, 45 years later, those capital projects have gathered dust in council and government offices, never to be implemented

The Biden crime family is at it again.

The people of Zimbabwe must now wake up, this is just too much.

I don't know what will make Zimbabweans to say enough is enough...

At this point I think Ed is daring ppl for an uprising .It feels like he wakes up in the morning calls his ministers & asks them ideas on how to screw zimbos .1 after another decision on how to make life worse for Zimbos .

Vanopati pa Border. It's been like this since lockdown.

The situation is not good at all but kombis are allowed to pass only if you are in possession of the required paperwork. Most of the kombis do not have fitness and other requirements. I am not sure how this can be rectified. Is there any way of compromising l wonder.

How many police are stopping all those people? In Mozambique, they are not taking that nonsense. When they get tired of walking home they will do something about it.
