Chegutu Residents Face Flooding Due to Council Roadworks Without Proper Drainage

By A Correspondent | Residents of Chegutu are grappling with flooding in their homes after recent council roadworks failed to incorporate adequate drainage systems. Local resident Bernard Murambiwa reported to ZimEye that while the council has been grading roads in the area, they neglected to create runoff channels, leaving homes vulnerable to flooding.

Murambiwa expressed frustration, pointing out that without proper drainage, the graded roads have directed water towards residential areas, worsening the situation for affected households. Residents are now calling on the council to address the lack of runoff infrastructure to prevent further water damage to their homes and property.

This situation highlights an ongoing challenge in urban planning and infrastructure development, as residents seek immediate intervention to alleviate the flooding issues exacerbated by the recent roadworks.

The council was still to comment at the time of writing.
