A resident of Zambia Compound in Mazabuka has bitterly complained over the bad state of the bridge connecting their area to neighbouring Overspill.
Malambo Moonga tells Byta FM News that the poor condition of the bridge has negatively affected movements of motorists, noting that the infrastructure is as good as impassable.
And a Ward Development Committee Representative from Ndeka Zone, Mabuku Kwibisa, notes that the community has through the committee applied for resources from the Constituency Development Fund-CDF to have the bridge reconstructed.
Kwibisa says the CDF Committee is yet to approve the proposal.
When contacted for a comment, Mazabuka Central Ward Councilor, Chrisphine Hamangaba, acknowledged that the bridge needs urgent attention.
He says the construction of the bridge is waiting for approval by the CDF Committee.
