Sebina Road Life Threatening

MASUNGA: The deteriorating condition of the Sebina-Mbalambi road continues to expose the lives of regular commuters to great risk despite years of complaining to the responsible authorities.

The road runs from Sebina through Makaleng, Kalakamati, and Sekakangwe all the way to Mbalambi in the North East District. It is the size of a one-way traffic road with gaping potholes. The invisible road markings make driving difficult. The old bituminous road ends at Kalakamati and from there it's all gravel all the way to Mbalambi.

Driving there is problematic, especially during the rainy season.  A combi operator, Bakwadi Bakwadi, who does the Francistown-Masunga road says: "We experience problems when driving on the road because it is narrow, pot-holed, no traffic lane markings and the situation worsens in the evening because of the livestock that roams the road". Bakwadi said that the area around the road all the way to the last village has not been de-bushed and there is no cordon fence. That makes it easy for livestock to wander onto the main road precipitating fatal accidents.
