For years, communities in Zvishavane and Mberengwa faced serious struggles during rainy seasons. Poorly built bridges often collapsed under heavy rains. Villagers were left stranded, unable to cross swollen rivers safely.
Children missed school, families delayed hospital visits, and businesses suffered huge losses. The lack of strong infrastructure made life extremely difficult. Travelling to nearby towns like Zvishavane or Mataga became a nightmare.
Communities lived in fear whenever clouds gathered. Transport costs increased, while accidents and delays grew common. The need for durable bridges was urgent. Finally, relief has come with the construction of the new Mabori Bridge.
Construction of a key bridge now underway in Zvishavane
The construction of Mabori Bridge is transforming lives in Mberengwa East. Communities in Ingezi, Murongwe, and Utsanana are celebrating this vital project. For the first time in decades, they feel genuine relief. The bridge provides safe, reliable access to Zvishavane and Mataga.
Farmers can now transport produce without delays, boosting trade and incomes. Business owners see new opportunities for growth and expansion. Children will reach schools easily, while patients access hospitals on time. Social visits and cultural events will also thrive with improved movement. During rainy seasons, families will no longer fear isolation.
The bridge symbolizes progress and long-awaited government support. For many, it represents dignity and hope. Connectivity is no longer a dream but a reality. The Mabori Bridge is more than concrete—it is a lifeline. It unites communities, strengthens trade, and secures a brighter future for Zvishavane’s people.
