“That is unsustainable and it is not what we ought to have as a country,” he said. He further said consideration was also being done to construct to all-weather standard the 131 kilometres road linking Imusho to the border and to the Sioma-Sesheke Road.
Sesheke Member of Parliament, Hon. Romeo Kangombe expressed happiness that Hon. Eng. Milupi is in the area and will be able to see for himself, get first hand information and experience what the people of Imusho have been experiencing for a long time.
“We have lost a number of people due to the non-existence of the road. It is very difficult to transport goods from Sesheke to Imusho as the local people have to use the Namibian Border where they are expected to declare and it’s up to the the officials to allow the goods or not,” Hon. Kangombe said.
The road is a key driver of social and economic development of Sesheke District and once improved, it shall not only improve accessibility but will contribute greatly to the lives of the local people through improved trade and commerce, and sustainable agricultural and timber production.
