Mzuzu’s newest road cracks

Residents of Zolozolo, Mzilawaingwe, Katawa, Chiputula and surrounding townships were all smiles when Mzuzu City Council upgraded Airport-Chiputula-Katawa Road. But just three months after President Peter Mutharika toured and touted the new roads in the city, the tarmac has developed potholes, drifts and cracks. The situation not only forces motorists to shun the road, but people are afraid that they may go back to the poor state it was before the upgrade. They fear government will continue draining millions to repair the road instead of constructing new roads where they are still needed.—Andrew Nyondo, Staff Writer.
