Harare residents have expressed immense gratitude to the Government for its Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme (ERRP2) which continues to transform the city's road infrastructure.
Residents of Glen View, in particular, have been vocal in their appreciation. Speaking to this publication, a visibly elated Mrs Grace Tafirenyika said, "The ERRP2 has been a game-changer for us. I remember a time when some of these roads were so bad that vehicles would get stuck or get damaged. Now we can drive smoothly without fear."
One of the most talked-about rehabilitations is the work being done on Patrender Way. The extensive repair works, that has seen particular attention being directed to addressing the potholes, has been a significant boost for the daily commuters using this road.
"Before the ERRP initiative, it was a nightmare navigating Patrender Way. It was filled with potholes, making it a hazard," recalled Mr Tinashe Moyo, another Glen View resident. "Now, the difference is night and day. We're grateful for the attention this road is getting."
Many roads, previously in deplorable states, have undergone significant repair and rehabilitation, bringing a sigh of relief to motorists and pedestrians alike. The youth have also not been left out in expressing their gratitude.
Miss Ruvimbo Chigudu, a college student, shared her sentiments, "I use public transport every day, and I've noticed the buses no longer take detours because of bad roads. The ERRP has not only made our roads better but also saved us time. We no longer have to endure those bumpy rides."
The Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme has demonstrated the Government's commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring that residents have a better quality of life. It’s evident that such initiatives significantly impact people's daily lives, making commuting safer and more efficient.
