Govt erects $400K fence on BB – Byo road

THE government has started erecting a 321-kilometre-long servitude fence worth $400 000 between Beitbridge and Bulawayo road to reduce animal-induced road carnage.

Work is already underway and villagers living along the road which also leads to South Africa have been hired for the project.

On Friday, the Zimbabwe Traffic Safety Board chief executive, Obio Murambiwa Chinyere, said employment of locals was key to creating a sense of ownership among the communities.
