𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Harare Mayor Mayor of Harare, Jacob Mafume says he is open to idea of introducing cycle-to-work, cycle-to-school schemes as a solution to decongest the city’s busy streets. He says this is also a plan to promote healthier work journeys and combat environmental... pollution. "People need to cycle, we have a huge student population and l do not see the reason why a student should be getting on a car," Mafume said. He also revealed that a number of contractors have sent in proposals to rehabilitate cycle tracks and infrastructure in the capital. Traffic congestion is one of Harare's major problem.

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix Cycling actually results in the opposite!!!! Bike 🚲 lanes and crossing, etc. If he had introduced trains, then we are talking!!!!

@BeautyZhuwao @JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix Do we have the infrastructure that supports this idea? We don't. So, he is dreaming. Not to mention intolerance in our society, which results in road rage, avoidable accidents, bullying of motorcyclists etc

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix Do we even have bicycle shops in Zimbabwe? Apart from that,imagine cycling from Kuwadzana to UZ in Mt Pleasant or cycling from Cowdry Park to the city in Bulawayo. You'd a whole day. The Mayor has been binge watching Netflix & CNN. If not,there must be something he's smoking.

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix Where are they supposed to cycle? No cycle tracks , no traffic lights,no road makings ,who will protect cyclists?? Stop waffling

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix Do people think before they make silly statements. You need cycle paths for this and yet you cannot even deliver proper roads. You need a safe driving culture and clearly you do not drive in Harare and see the terrible driving. A very @nickmangwana statement.

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix Why not just introduce an efficient public transport system?

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix We don’t have cycling tracks and it’s not safe for people to cycle especially if our driving culture doesn’t change.

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix He is mad 😠 Do they mark the roads for cyclists?

@JMafume @cohsunshinecity @DavidColtart @NicolaWatson13 @DenfordNgadzio1 @Cde_Wombe @gama_stanley @AnesuMasamvu @mmatenga @UcazOfficial @MhonaFelix That would be awesome!
