Traffic Jam in Zimbabwe | Driving in Downtown Harare

[@timmurphy5541]

Well, Bob &co spent all our money on fighting to stay in power and not on maintaining the infrastructure so..... unsurprisingly it eventually falls apart.

[@stillwaters7233]

😄 i know it's no laughing matter but the way you put it made me chuckle

[@timmurphy5541]

@@stillwaters7233 Thank you. :-) Without humor .... madness.

He didn't care clearly because when he was being driven ,all the traffic will be stopped to make way

[@tonydmand]

[@LeawithoutBorders]

[@kudachikwenya1870]

[@ceemu3966]

[@nyashaketrinachuma7848]

I can relate to that, thanks guys i feel like am home right now, its been five years since i relocated to Durban south africa

There is a drainage system in the whole of Harare and Zim at large but it's not maintained.

[@mollyrindt5227]

Wow this traffic is insane!

[@sinyoroabroad2851]

The drainage system is good, its just blocked with lots of litter....

[@tatendazuze]

True cleanliness is essential, dirtiness causes a lot of issue coming from a plumber my self

[@qhawemoyo8940]

I still think Harare needs 2.5m+ diameter sized underground drainage system. I dont believe the small pipes can still cope as the city has grown i.e when it rains there is more runoff per square meter due to more built up areas (concrete and tar) compared to 50 years ago. Also consider that parts of town e.g Samora Machel where built on top of a small river being fed by nearby wetlands, so we desturbed the natural flow of water. Even if you were to liter more due to a growing population size, the larger drainage system can cope until routine maintenance is carried out to remove solid waste. Many cities around the world with 1 million plus population cope this way.

[@sinyoroabroad2851]

@@qhawemoyo8940 Thats 1 hell of a big project which won't happen in our lifetime. A pipe dream as they. But great observation.

[@qhawemoyo8940]

@@sinyoroabroad2851 It will cost millions for sure, just as Harare also needs the light urban rail system and a couple of flyovers to decongest the roads. These projects are already happening in other African Cities such as Nairobi, Dar-es-Salaam and Addis. I dont know when Harare will catch up. Even a smaller cities than Harare like Gaborone and Francistown now have road interchanges a.k.a spaghetti roads / flyovers but we haven't built any other post independence, only one was built by the Rhodesians

[@LeawithoutBorders]

Let me know what you think is most interesting / different about driving in Zimbabwe!

[@amyeidenshink914]

I'm not sure I'd ever drive in the CBD! It is pretty similar to what we experienced in UB, Mongolia - and that was really challenging. You are a brave woman, Lea!

[@LeawithoutBorders]

Been there but not that I was driving. I was on foot.

[@tracys.5143]

Oh yes, I have to drive in and out of the CBD every day for work. Not the greatest part of my day 😂 And in the suburbs, don't you just "love" the stealth speed humps....!

[@LeawithoutBorders]

Those speed humps ruin me hahah

[@mhopi9744]

Great video. Lots of cars n the roads a small n few

[@adrianlunga4646]

what not document your everyday life in Zimbabwe?

[@stevenprize3788]

Leah can i ask how do u live in a country with 90% unemployment Cash and fuel shortages or is the media lying to us about Zimbabwe

[@honestkariwo6163]

In Zimbabwe its hard to get formal employment but the informal sector is crazy rich ad running.... So the media focus on the formal figures of the economy. For example i am Computer Science graduate i make a better living doing what we call "Running" instead of being employed.... Running is when you assist pipo go arund activities in my case i get ad depose cellphones and laptops for people.
