A man that dedicated his life into engineering and infrastructural development. Very passionate about his work. I consider myself fortunate to have been working with this man. Engineer you are a hero!!!!
Thank you for the amazing insights from this discussion. Is it possible to have a compilation of the titles that have been mentioned by every guest on the show during the Book Club section of the show?
Good point to bring the minister of transport to the show bot he will not come coz he's corrupted so he won't come to the show zanu.pf minister are arrogant no heart for the people who put them in power ts a shame
As an engineering student, I have been awakened to the problems our country is facing. Im now Studying harder to come up with life-long solutions and ways to mordenise our road networks. Thanks Trevor🙏
Unfortunately this issue is due political and criminal coexistence. This applies to every issue in Zimbabwe. We have world class doctors who move back to Zimbabwe to try and make change but their agenda to bring change does not align with politicians agenda to become wealthy quickly.
I enjoyed the conclusion, the Eng. 's reading culture. As scientists we do not read fiction, we do not read books for opinion' s sake, but we read technical issues which enriches our knowledge and skills
Heartbreaking 💔…but with your level of experience and being the original member of ZINARA…could you not have been the best candidate to be promoted as Minister of Transportation?
Good interviews but confused about some comments where people hold accountable an office holder of period 2000 to 2005 responsible for stuff that happened 2006 to 2022. Even Trevor seemed to be suggesting that. Context. Bernard should have commenced with a disclaimer.
No doubt these government entities like Zinara are now Zanu PF cash cows! You cannot deal with misappropriation of funds when Zanu PF is still in charge, it cant! The truth is that ZANU PF MUST GO!
This is what we call a criminogenic cancer. Checks and balances and oversight mechanisms simply being driven over, excuse the pun. Despite a very efficient revenue collection system, the ultimate user is not benefiting at all. Rural roads are a mess. And this hampers economic growth, never mind the cost of vehicle repairs.
Most roads in the high density suburbs need reconstruction, they are terrible especially in Harare. I'm not sure who's responsibility it is but let's be serious. Also, it sounds like you only mean highways and low density areas when you talk about roads, I suggest kuti go and see mega kuma ghetto and show us videos. Hakufambike... places like Highfield, Chitungwiza, Granery, Sakubva, Mbare kwese kwandakaenda even ma industrial area roads, haaya. Wish we all knew how far behind we have fallen guys as far as roads are concerned, apa you collect mari. I hope this good interview will kickstart something, hameno kuti chii but we have a lot of work to do Zimbabweans, home and abroad, asi still Zimbabwe is a great country. I am proud to be Zimbabwean. Thanks.
Hahaha thought I was the only one making calculations of how the big boys live large 25million since 2016 makati zii even muri 5 and no one knows who you a cz it’s a secret🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
beitbridge bulawayo is disaster I wonder why people paying tailgate .who ever given tender to build road in beitbridge town that contact is a disaster they are not professional
This is disappointing indeed. Is it a question of faulty systems to ensure anyone despite moral decay can do the right thing? Surely relying on the goodness of office bearers and expecting them to do the right thing always will not gets us far regardless of who is in charge?
why is Zimbabwe road are like that since some of roads left by alan Smith still today are not being repaired that harare beitbridge is not good enough wind with 2 lane only that road should be 6lane each side from beitbridge to chirudu and nyamapanda
You do not construct 6 lanes of road in each direction for the sake of it. There has to be a strong case for it that is supported by traffic engineering (demand estimation and forecasting), safety, topography and economic considerations amongst other factors.
@@tapiwajokomo2766 I get you man why is not happening Zimbabwe is lacking behind in this millennium we don't have flyover is shame to the country Zimbabwean they no to fight each other than to developing each other
@@tapiwajokomo2766 well @Niconko La asked a very good question. Harare - Beitbridge road is the busiest highway in Zimbabwe, many accidents and brings in a lot of cargo from S.A hence there's already a strong case for that road to be upgraded.
@@niconkola9314 A new interchange (flyover) is currently under construction at Mbudzi Roundabout in Harare. A few more flyovers along the Harare - Masvingo road are under planning and design.
It was very depressing to listen to this interview. The esteemed Engineer was unconvincing and sounded helpless most of the time. As Chairman at ZINARA, he had oversight roles over management at the entity but it appears wrong things just continued happening unabated under his watch. It is sad and regrettable that engineers and other technocrats have allowed politicians to set the tone in our societies whereas it should be the other way around. The results have been catastrophic with critical infrastructure everywhere collapsing. On another note, i think upgrading of the Harare - Airport road to freeway standards will be a vanity project. For starters, the volumes of traffic on that road are not significantly high, the project will not be able to pay itself back even in 30 years time from tolling alone. The cost - benefit analysis of this will surely be negative. Secondly, you will not be able to fit 7 interchanges between Harare and the airport considering that ideal interchange spacing is about 1.5km minimum. What alternatives will you be giving people who use the current road for their daily commuting? It would be nice if you can share the findings and recommendations of your Study Report.
Was thinking the same on Airport Road, unless RGM Airport becomes a busy hub such as Addis' Bole Airport or JHB's OR Tambo, there really isn't a need for that many interchanges
@@Keith0909Maya You are welcome Sir. It is a pleasure to watch your conversations. Even though your show is not a HARD TALK or interrogation show, I like how you have improved in pressing harder for answers. Keep it up. I wish you had also probed the esteemed Engineer on his time as a Board Member of ZUPCO.
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 needs to do what's best for Zimbabweans not what the World Bank and others said . Snails are a delicacy in France but how many Zimbabweans would like them ? 🤔 ZINARA needs to stop all these money collection agencies til they can fix the so called "misappropriation of funds " aka corruption.
Do we need to be dictated new policies by IMF when we already have working policies, like having ZINARA instead of Ministryband councils, also we were imposed with ESAP when we had good working structures before it,WHY?
I hate these useless plans, the question is simple, if you were president what would you do, simple answer, 1st 6 months main roads, 2nd, district roads etc, all the toll money, licences etc to be whole directed to that effort
With zanu pf hapana kwatirikuenda senyika. Its foolishness and stupidity of its fullest to think that the zanu pf led government will restore sanity on how our resources are managed.
He is neck deep in this circus so his explanations lack punch and substance. I àm convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that people in public offices aren't aware of their job descriptions. They assume being a holder of that position is to warm the office chair and loot. Ministers are the biggest culprits in this matrix. How can a whole public entity, surely collect funds from people and never bother to give them a breakdown of how the funds have been used? Thanks,he told us his age,tired he is and all he says is mere rhetoric.
I respect the engineer but creating more plans for our road infrastructure is not the first step in solving our problems. More plans will result in more taxes on us and more corruption. Lets remove corruption first varume.
A man that dedicated his life into engineering and infrastructural development. Very passionate about his work. I consider myself fortunate to have been working with this man. Engineer you are a hero!!!!
Outstanding journalism, great way to ask the tough questions 👏.
Thank you
Great interview trevor good professional man thank you for the questions and answers
I commend the courage to speak out
Great conversation, thank you Eng. Musarurwa and Mr. Ncube. God bless Zimbabwe.
Brilliant interview and gave me perspective as to why our roads are shockingly bad
Most informative practical interview from Engineer Ben Musarurwa.
Interesting insights into "where the wheels fell off"...
Thank you Trevor, you are living your purpose in our country..l hope we will all get on board at most once in our life..
Good conversation, it would be nice to have footage of the potholes and bridges and bad workmanship if possible.
Travor bring Temba Muliswa please the guy's memory is full and is about to explode blow it as you always do Travor thanks .
Thanks mkoma Trevor always on point keep up the good work

@@Keith0909Maya Thank you mukoma Trevor. I lover that culture of reading you are encouraging.
@@Keith0909Maya that's great. I look forward to that. Thank you
Is it possible Mr Trevor to call the Minister of Transport to answer the roads situation and massive funds going to individual pockets, please?
We will try.
Good point to bring the minister of transport to the show bot he will not come coz he's corrupted so he won't come to the show zanu.pf minister are arrogant no heart for the people who put them in power ts a shame
haa minister vatongoripo for signature.. chinhu chiku lootwer kushake shake ...ne army
He will never come
Powerful voice indeed from a great man Engineer Musarurwa. Mr Trevor we salute you for enlightening us the younger generations from this program.
Thank you 🙏🏿
A great interview Eng.
Perhaps set a roads construction or maintenance technical college?
Excellent interview,I enjoyed so much
As an engineering student, I have been awakened to the problems our country is facing.

muka ubike doro. there are no engineering problems in Zimbabwe. it is all attributed to poor politics and corrupt culture.
Good questions Trevor, we need security for you these guys are unpredictable!
200 million USD per year is a lot of money, with that money we should have seen at least some real improvements on our roads
@Jennings I agree its just gross negligence and corruption.
We are worse off with that enormous amount collected year in year out.
It's sad that a few people can mess up the whole country with their greed.
@@Nhamo3 so painful
We need part 2 for this man,yu didn’t touch on his time at zupco and what he thinks of it now.
Great Interview Knowledgeable fellow
Everything he said is happening in the HealthCare sector
Eye opening
Very informative conversation Trevor.

Bulawayo - Victoria Falls road is disastrous , feeling potholes with RiverSand does not give long life on the road ,
This man would be a great mentor for young engineers

We have Plans but lack implementation
Corruption has taken this country to the grave yards
Unfortunately the "the other institution" running the 10 tollgates is not mentioned by name.

Was Smith administration better than ZANU PF administration in terms of management of national resources? Your input and views are much appreciated

Do we need to be dictated new policies by IMF when we already have working policies, like having ZINARA instead of Ministryband councils, also we were imposed with ESAP when we had good working structures before it,WHY?
Corruption in Zimbabwe is astonishing.This country is a sad story i feel sorry for Zimbabweans
Have our road Engineers travelled to see roads in our Neibor s like SA , Botswana and US: It’s so embarrassing:
Roads, sewer, water and bridges all dilapidated.
I hate these useless plans, the question is simple, if you were president what would you do, simple answer, 1st 6 months main roads, 2nd, district roads etc, all the toll money, licences etc to be whole directed to that effort
Zimbabwe is one huge crime scene. 18% of ZINARA revenue paying for what ?
Old mate is dodging all questions regarding corruption. Its two things,either he has/had his share or he is simply scared of zanu pf

Politics is killing our country
Very true

We don't need you to explain the state of the roads sir
