This afternoon, we held a fruitful discussion with His Royal Highness Senior Chief Anangβanga Imwiko of Mwandi, Sesheke and Mulobezi Districts as we explore lasting solutions to the persistent truck congestion and unauthorised parking in our border town of Katima Mulilo.
Our discussion focused on various measures that can be implemented to address the growing challenge of heavy truck traffic and establish a more orderly and sustainable parking system.
The congestion has not only placed pressure on our road infrastructure but has also adversely affected local businesses, with improperly parked trucks obstructing shop frontages and making it difficult for business owners to operate effectively.
As Sesheke West, we recognise the urgent need for a coordinated approach involving relevant stakeholders to address this situation. Our goal is to promote the smooth flow of traffic, protect road infrastructure, support local businesses and restore order in our border town.
We remain committed to engaging traditional leadership and other key stakeholders to find a practical and lasting solution that will benefit the people of Katima Mulilo and the wider community.
