Harare road section cancelled for replanning

The Zimbabwean government announced plans to permanently cancel a section of Patrice Lumumba Street in central Harare for replanning. The Daily News reported the notice was published in the Government Gazette. The move is part of a broader urban redesign, but businesses along the route fear disruption. The cancellation could ease traffic congestion or fuel land speculation if not transparently managed. The outcome depends on whether the government ensures fair compensation and transparent planning.
