Member of Parliament for Mwenezi East , Sheillah Chikomo, has commended Mwenezi Rural District Council (RDC) for undertaking rehabilitation works along the Chikombedzi Road stretch from Sabot to Edenvall, in Ward 15, Mwenezi East Constituency, saying the development will improve accessibility and facilitate the movement of people and goods.
The ongoing road maintenance works are expected to ease transportation challenges faced by local communities while improving connectivity and supporting economic activities in the area.
Chikomo applauded the local authority for prioritising road infrastructure maintenance, noting that accessible roads are essential for rural development and the effective delivery of services.
She said the rehabilitation of the road would particularly benefit farmers, traders and other community members who rely on the route to transport agricultural produce, access markets and reach essential services.
“I want to commend Mwenezi Rural District Council for responding to the road infrastructure needs of the community. The rehabilitation of the Chikombedzi Road stretch from Sabot to Edenvall is a welcome development that will make the movement of people and goods much easier,” said Chikomo.
She added that maintaining rural road networks was critical in promoting development and improving the livelihoods of residents.
Ward 15 Councillor Timothy Magoche, who is overseeing the road maintenance process, said the initiative was part of ongoing efforts to improve the condition of roads within the ward.
Magoche indicated that more roads would be considered for rehabilitation to ensure that communities enjoy improved accessibility and motorists can travel with greater ease.
“We appreciate efforts currently underway in Mwenezi RDC to improve the Chikombedzi Road which is important to our community, and we are looking forward to seeing more roads being rehabilitated,” said Magoche.
He said the council would continue identifying other roads requiring attention to ensure smooth movement of vehicles and improve connectivity among communities.
The rehabilitation project highlights the importance of sustained investment in rural infrastructure, with improved road networks playing a key role in facilitating trade, service delivery and socio-economic development in Mwenezi.
