“Bullet trains, spaghetti roads, village airports”
On the election campaign trail, MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has promised to:
- Turn Gweru town, in Zimbabwe’s central Midlands province, into the capital city of the country to improve accessibility by citizens and to promote national unity.
- Give more neutral names to Zimbabwean provinces, which currently carry names with ethnic, tribal or regional overtones, as part of promoting national cohesion.
- Build top quality crisscrossing “spaghetti” highways and upgrade Zimbabwe’s crumbling roads.
- Introduce fast-moving bullet trains to improve public transportation currently dominated by mini-buses and individually-owned small vehicle hoppers.
- Build village airports to transport fresh farm produce from peasants to European markets.
