Harare road closed for Warriors vs DRC match

According to iHarare and New Zimbabwe, Harare will close part of the Harare-Bulawayo Road on Monday, September 28, from 6am to 6pm for the Warriors' AFCON qualifier against DRC at the National Sports Stadium, with 30,000 advance tickets already sold. Motorists face major traffic disruptions as the road closure will affect a key route during peak hours, causing delays for commuters. The closure highlights the city's inadequate infrastructure for large events, with limited parking and public transport options available near the stadium. The match is a crucial Group E encounter, and a strong home crowd could boost Zimbabwe's chances of securing a vital win against a strong opponent. However, logistical chaos may overshadow the fixture, as fans struggle to access the stadium due to poor planning. Authorities have advised motorists to use alternative routes, but congestion is expected to be severe, raising concerns about the city's ability to host major events.
