TWO months after a landslip damaged a section of the Southern Main Road in Cochrane Village, Guapo in Point Fortin, a retaining wall has been built and the road has been fixed.
On July 23, Point Fortin MP Kennedy Richards Jr said the damage was caused by "incessant rainfall over the last couple of weeks, as well as the leak nearby."
Work began soon after.
The damaged section of the roadway caused frequent standstill traffic, which left drivers and commuters frustrated.
The final work was being done on Saturday afternoon and by Sunday afternoon, it was complete.

BY GARIKAI MAFIRAKUREVA Mwenezi East MP Joosbi Omar (Zanu PF) has died.

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday threatened to descend heavily on Zanu PF bigwigs dropping the ruling party’s name to evade arrest each time they were caught engaging in corrupt activities. BY BLESSED MHLANGA Mnangagwa told a Zanu PF politburo meeting that he would soon flush out malcontents who had turned the ruling party into a haven for corruption. “The fight against corruption in the party and in the country continues unabated. Gone are the days when members hid behind their status and abused the name of the party to propagate corruption,” he said. “Zanu PF and this administration will never allow the party to be a haven for malcontents and criminals.” Mnangagwa’s administration has increasingly come under fire for failing to prosecute party activists and senior government officials fingered in corruption. Critics accuse the government of playing “catch and release”, a phrase coined to describe the manner in which top government figures and officials are let loose after hyped arrests on allegations of corruption. Mnangagwa’s family members have also been fingered in a COVID-19 funds scandal that led to the arrest of former Health minister Obadiah Moyo and Drax International’s local representative Delish Nguwaya, a close friend of the First Family. Mnangagwa’s threats also came at a time top government officials have been divided over corruption allegations raised by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) against Health deputy minister John Mangwiro. Mangwiro is being accused of forcing State-run drug distributor, NatPharm, to award a US$5,6 million tender to a less qualified company and convened nocturnal meetings to deal with the tender. But in his defence, Mangwiro said his actions were above board as the country was dealing with an emergency and his immediate boss, Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga, was in the know. In February this year, Zanu PF youth leaders Lewis Matutu (deputy secretary) and national commissar Godfrey Tsenengamu were fired after they named and shamed “corrupt” top Zanu PF officials and businessmen linked to the ruling party. Meanwhile, Zanu PF yesterday said it had indefinitely suspended its annual conference that was supposed to be held in December in Mashonaland Central citing COVID-19 fears. Acting party spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa said the decision was based on safety concerns. “After lively, honest and frank deliberations, the politburo took the decision to postpone the annual people’s conference indefinitely, to allow the government, party and the people to contain the COVID-19 pandemic without undue disturbances,” he said. Zanu PF had initially toyed with the idea of reducing the number of delegates to the conference or alternatively hosting the jamboree virtually. Chinamasa said the politburo deliberated on a number of disciplinary matters which were presented by the national disciplinary committee against top officials such as Applonia Munzverengwi (Mashonaland East Provincial Affairs minister), Dexter Nduna (Chegutu West MP) and Tamuka Nyoni (Matabeleland North
