PICTURES OF ROAD TARRING IN CROWHILL (albeit poor quality) road compacting using coal

Poor road quality made from coal and not aggregate stones like all types of roads the world over , here are the latest pictures

SOME PROGRESS IN CROWHILL.....BUT VERY POOR ROAD QUALITY

There is some progress at last in Crowhill but dont be excited,.... there is tarring of the main road from Crowhill Road, Borrowdale Brooke to Charlotte Brooke via Crowhill Views, however the tarring is sub standard and a first of its kind using coal discard instead of the usual granite 3/4 stones. SEE PICTURES BELOW . WHAT KIND OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION IS THIS?

Mr Msipa has a coal company, called Coal Brick Mine, he is using coal waste (discard) to compact the roads, then add bitumen on top and to him, thats a tarred road... Terrible. The road is not wide enough and definately will have potholes in no time. No road in the world was ever constructed using coal.

A STAND OWNER IN CROWHILL`S FRUSTRATION


I'm one of the stand owners in Crowhill Views and I had been going through some of your blogs.

I bought my stand early this year and I thought I had finally invested my hard earned cash with these guys but after reading your articles,I have to think otherwise.These salesman made me to believe that they were now about to finnish with the roads and up to now as far as I have heard nothing meaningfull is happening there.

It seems like these guys don't even care about their Clients anymore.All they care about is our Cash only

LETTER OF COMPAINT TO MEDIA HOUSES

EDITOR - We write as concerned residents at the state of infrastructure in Charlotte Brooke (Rumani Estates).

---

In 2010 the area was incorporated into Harare as the city’s boundaries were extended. Although we still pay our rates to Goromonzi Council, the state of services in the area is depressing. Since 2005 when residents were allowed to start constructing houses, the area has had no tarred roads or water. The main road from Crowhill in Borrowdale is a dusty gravel road which is unusable during the rainy season.
The developer, Rumani Estates (owned by Cephas Mandlenkosi Msipa), is doing nothing to service the area, despite acquiring more land in Crowhill and continuing to sell stands at $20 per sqm. Our leaders at Harare City Council and Goromonzi Council must tell us how this developer got a permit to acquire more land for stands when he has not finished servicing our development seven years down the line.
It’s incredible that he got a certificate of completion for Charlotte Brooke when there is no running water or reliable access routes. Minister Igantious Chombo must ask the two councils what exactly they are doing about such developers. Seven years without a proper road is a joke. Each year all he does is dump more gravel on the bumpy roads and promise to build water reservoirs.
Is Msipa junior being left to do whatever he wants because he is politically connected as the son of a former minister? Can the responsible city authorities give us answers please? – CONCERNED RESIDENTS, Charlotte Brooke
