By A Correspondent| The commuting public in Zimbabwe’s second largest city of Bulawayo have been left stuck following the decision by the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) to withdraw services citing poor roads.
Bulawayo’s Ward 28 councilor, Kidwell Mujuru recently told councillors during a full council meeting that ZUPCO had withdrawn services in some areas in Cowdray Park suburb.
“Residents were now walking more than 2km to get public transport. He (Mujuru) was also concerned about the main road leading to the Cowdray Park revenue office which was now a security risk,” reads part of the council minutes.
Emakhandeni councillor Pilate Moyo also concurred with Mujuru.
“ZUPCO had also withdrawn services in Emakhandeni especially in areas connected by Masiyephambili Drive as the road was in a very bad state,” councillor Moyo told the meeting.
