The road from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls is in a very bad condition. It connects Zimbabwe’s second-largest city with one of the world’s best-known tourist destinations. However, the highway is now a national shame. It shows how Zanu PF has failed to lead the country well.

Under Zanu PF, infrastructure across Zimbabwe has fallen apart. Roads are crumbling. Public services are breaking down. The state of this highway is a clear example of poor leadership. It also shows that Zanu PF has not managed the country properly.

The road is so bad that some drivers don’t even use it anymore. They have to drive on the sides of the road, through bushes and dust, just to avoid the large holes and cracks. This is not what you expect for a road leading to a major tourist spot. Instead of bringing pride to the country, the highway brings shame.

The blame goes back many years. Former president Robert Mugabe and the current leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa, are both responsible. Their time in power has brought little improvement to the country’s infrastructure. The roads are only one example of the larger problems facing Zimbabwe. The situation feels like the aftermath of a disaster, like an earthquake or a flood, but it is caused by poor governance and corruption.

Even members of Zanu PF admit the problem. Prisca Mupfumira, a Zanu PF senator and former minister, has called the road a national disgrace. She said it’s embarrassing for Zimbabwe and makes the country look bad to the rest of the world.

Zimbabweans are frustrated. They deserve better roads, better services, and better leadership. The poor condition of this highway is not just a local problem. It affects tourism, business, and the image of the entire nation. Visitors from other countries come to Zimbabwe expecting to see its beauty, but the journey there leaves them shocked. Instead of smooth roads, they find a bumpy and unsafe highway.

The government has promised to fix roads before. But little has changed. Each year, the highway gets worse. The neglect shows a lack of planning, a lack of care, and a lack of accountability. The people in charge do not seem to feel the urgency to repair and maintain such an important route.

What can be done? The first step is for the government to admit that it has failed. Leaders must take responsibility and commit to real change. They must stop making excuses and start repairing the roads. Transparency is also needed. Citizens have a right to know how money is spent and why the roads are not being fixed. Without clear answers, it’s hard to trust that anything will improve.

The people of Zimbabwe deserve better than this. They deserve roads that are safe and reliable. They deserve a government that plans ahead and takes care of its infrastructure. The Bulawayo-Victoria Falls highway should be a proud route connecting the city and the world-famous falls. Instead, it has become a symbol of failure.

Zanu PF’s mismanagement is clear to anyone who drives on that road. It’s not just a local problem; it’s a national embarrassment. Zimbabweans are watching. They are waiting. And they will remember.
