 *Chimedza-Jichidza Road in Deplorable State Puts Lives at Risk*

*Chiwara Lawson*

The Chimedza-Jichidza road, located in Masvingo Province, has been in a deplorable state for quite some time, posing significant risks to the residents and visitors of the area. The road connects to Jichidza, where the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe Jichidza High School is situated. This school hosts a large number of children whose lives are put at risk due to the poor condition of the road, especially at the beginning and end of each term when students travel to and from the school.


Jichidza Mission, which is also located along this road, houses a clinic that serves the local community. However, due to the inaccessible nature of the road during the rainy season, patients face significant challenges in accessing essential medical care.


 The dire state of the road not only affects the safety and well-being of the children attending the school but also jeopardizes the health and lives of individuals seeking medical attention at the clinic.


Despite these pressing issues, Minister Ophias Murambiwa, who represents this constituency, has been criticized for failing to take meaningful action to address the deteriorating condition of the Chimedza-Jichidza road. The lack of intervention from local authorities has left residents and stakeholders deeply concerned about their safety and access to essential services.


The situation calls for urgent attention and intervention from relevant government bodies to initiate comprehensive road maintenance and improvement efforts.


 Addressing the challenges faced by the Chimedza-Jichidza road is crucial not only for ensuring safe travel and access to education but also for safeguarding public health in the region.


As concerns continue to mount over the hazardous state of this vital roadway, it is imperative for authorities to prioritize infrastructure development and maintenance to mitigate the risks faced by those relying on this route for their daily activities.
