Design of a Link Road to Connect the Beitbridge- Chirundu Highway to Harare Drive in Harare, Zimbabwe
Design of a Link Road to Connect the Beitbridge- Chirundu Highway to Harare Drive in Harare, Zimbabwe Joan R. Shumba1, Samson Shumba2, Liliana D. Vassileva3 , Namatirai Cheure4 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Zimbabwe, P.O Box MP167 Mount Pleasant, Harare Abstract. The project focussed on the design of a link road to connect the Beitbridge- Chirundu Highway to Harare Drive and Kirkman Road in Harare, Zimbabwe. The proposed link road is approximately 17 km long. The link road will alleviate traffic flowing into Harare by linking the missing portion of Harare drive a ring road to a major highway. A manual traffic count was carried out to determine the percentage of heavy vehicles in transit on the highway. The results were compared to historic traffic counts. The analysis was carried out using QGIS and AchiCAD softwares, Microsoft excel and AutoCAD. The geometric design of the link road and intersection was carried out based on guidelines for Southern Africa roads. The link road and grade separated intersection with a design life of 20 years was designed. It is recommended that traffic flow be diverted and extra caution be taken during the construction. Keywords: Highways, Traffic congestion, Ring Road, Grade Separated Intersection and Geometric Design. 1 Introduction 1.1 Background Major cities throughout Zimbabwe are experiencing considerable increases in population, consequently the traffic demand on each city’s transportation infrastructure has also increased. The rapid increase in car ownership contributes to the unmanageable flows of traffic thereby reducing the efficiency of the road network. -
2.3.1 South Africa Land Border Crossing of Beitbridge (Zimbabwe)
2.3.1 South Africa Land Border Crossing of Beitbridge (Zimbabwe) Overview South African border post complex Zimbabwean border post complex Daily Capacity Customs Clearance Other Relevant Information Overview Beitbridge border post (north beyond the town of Musina) in Limpopo province on the South African side is a high priority border post and the main gateway on the north-south trade corridor within the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The actual international border crossing is via the Beitbridge structure over the Limpopo river. On the South African side the main route is via the N1 roadway, at the border post facility routes dovetails for processing by authorities to accommodate cars, buses, pedestrians and trucks. Once through the processing at the border post, routes bottle neck to cross the bridge structure and again dovetails at the Zimbabwean side for processing by authorities similar to the aforementioned transport modalities. Finally to bottleneck again onto the A6 (later splitting to A6 and A4) roadway through the town of Beitbridge on the Zimbabwean side for further transit. The rail line runs parallel but separate to the motor vehicle crossing infrastructure. Various agencies conduct operations at the border post, mainly Department of Home Affair (immigration), South African Police Services (border police), Department of Health (port health), South African Revenue Services (customs and excise), Department of Agriculture.

Understanding Adaptation to Climate Variability in Smallholder Farming Systems in Eastern Zimbabwe: a Sociological Perspective
Rev Agric Food Environ Stud https://doi.org/10.1007/s41130-018-0074-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Understanding adaptation to climate variability in smallholder farming systems in eastern Zimbabwe: a sociological perspective Sandra Bhatasara1 Received: 16 November 2016 /Accepted: 24 May 2018 # INRA and Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The literature on climate change in Zimbabwe continues to grow, but literature specifically focusing on how people in rural communities are responding to it is still comparatively limited. Only a few scholars have sought to offer a reasonably detailed account of farmers’ concerns and adaptation from localised, qualitative case studies based on farmers’ narratives. As such, this article is empirically based, using mainly qualitative data from a broader research on understanding climate variability and livelihood adaptation conducted in Mutoko District in rural Zimbabwe. In doing so, the aim is not only to contribute empirical data to existing knowledge but also more importantly to theorise adaptation sociologically. The main argument is that farmers are reflexively engaged in various adaptive strategies predominantly at the household level not only to adapt to increasing climatic variability but also to simultaneously navigate a difficult socio-economic landscape. The adaptive strategies are underpinned by diverse structures, processes and conditions that are enabling and constraining. Hence adapta- tion is unfolding as a complex and reflexive process under specific socio-spatial conditions. Keywords Climatevariability.Farmers.Adaptation.Adaptationprocesses.Reflexivity Introduction A consistent conclusion among climate change scholars in Zimbabwe is that the country is experiencing both climate change and variability. At the same time, there is emerging evidence that local communities are already grappling with the adverse * Sandra Bhatasara [email protected]; [email protected] 1 Sociology Department, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. -
Border Economies Linkages to the Development of Trade Corridors and Regional Value Chains in Sadc
DISCUSSION PAPER | NOVEMBER 2018 BORDER ECONOMIES LINKAGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE CORRIDORS AND REGIONAL VALUE CHAINS IN SADC Anna Ngarachu, Christopher Wood, Heinrich Krogman, Elisha Tshuma, Dale Mudenda & Catherine Grant Makokera ABOUT GEGAFRICA The Global Economic Governance (GEG) Africa programme is a policy research and stakeholder engagement programme aimed at strengthening the influence of African coalitions at global economic governance forums such as the G20, BRICS, World Trade Organization and World Bank, among others, in order to bring about pro-poor policy outcomes. The second phase of the programme started in March 2016 and will be implemented over a period of three years until March 2019. The programme is expected to help create an international system of global economic governance that works better for the poor in Africa through: • undertaking substantial research into critical policy areas and helping South African policymakers to prepare policy papers for the South African government to present at global economic governance platforms; • ensuring that African views are considered, knowledge is shared and a shared perspective is developed through systematic engage- ment with African governments, regional organisations, think tanks, academic institutions, business organisations and civil society forums; and • disseminating and communicating research and policy briefs to a wider audience via mass media and digital channels in order to create an informed and active policy community on the continent. The programme will be focused on three thematic areas: development finance for infrastructure; trade and regional integration; and tax and transparency. GEGAFRICA is funded by the UK Department for International Development and managed by a consortium consisting of DNA Economics, the South African Institute of International Affairs and Tutwa Consulting. -
An Assessment of the Benefits and Costs of Black Granite Quarrying in Mutoko District, Zimbabwe: a Socio-Cultural, Biophysical and Economic Approach
Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 12, No.3, 2010) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania AN ASSESSMENT OF THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF BLACK GRANITE QUARRYING IN MUTOKO DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE: A SOCIO-CULTURAL, BIOPHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC APPROACH Tanyaradzwa Chigonda ABSTRACT Mining plays an important role in the socio-economic development of many countries worldwide. However, in spite of its remarkable contribution towards development, mining can also result in some adverse impacts, especially when carried out without proper planning. In this study, the economic, socio-cultural, and biophysical benefits and costs of black granite quarrying were investigated. Two questionnaires, one targeting quarry workers and the other targeting villagers around quarry sites, together with personal interviews with key informants, were used as data gathering instruments. Among the benefits realized in the study area due to black granite quarrying include employment creation, infrastructural development, and revenue generation. Black granite quarrying has also brought with it some costs to the study area including, inter alia, the creation of labor bottlenecks for peasant agriculture, encroachment onto limited prime agricultural land, and the lowering of water tables. Quarrying has also induced some school dropouts, while HIV/AIDS prevalence has reportedly increased with the establishment of the quarries. The study recommends that full Environmental Impact Assessments should be carried out immediately in order to fully identify and enhance the benefits of black granite quarrying and reduce the costs. Keywords: black granite quarrying, benefits and costs, sustainable development. INTRODUCTION The history of mining in Zimbabwe dates back to the 15th century when the people practiced traditional small- scale mining mainly for iron and gold. -
Perspectives on Land and Water Politics at Mushandike Irrigation Scheme, Masvingo, Zimbabwe
PERSPECTIVES ON LAND AND WATER POLITICS AT MUSHANDIKE IRRIGATION SCHEME, MASVINGO, ZIMBABWE A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RHODES UNIVERSITY BY JONATHAN MAFUKIDZE December 2017 Supervisor: Professor Kirk Helliker Department of Sociology i ABSTRACT Access to, control and ownership of land and water, amongst other natural resources in Zimbabwe, shape and affect rural lives, livelihoods, social relations and social organisation. Rural poverty has been entrenched and exacerbated by, amongst other factors, highly restricted access to these scarce resources. Historically, Zimbabwe’s rural areas (such as communal areas, smallholder irrigation schemes and resettlement areas) have existed as sites of struggles where contestations and negotiations over access to, control or ownership of these resources have taken place. Resultantly, multifaceted and dynamic social relations have been weaved and contested social spaces carved out. In rural Zimbabwe, contestations have tended to be complex, nuanced and intricate, working themselves out in different ways across time and space. In their heightened and more visible state, they have been characterised by violent physical expressions which, in the history of the country, involved two wars of liberation, the First Chimurenga (1896-1897) and the Second Chimurenga (1960s to 1980). The most recent violent manifestation was through nation-wide land invasions, politically christened the Third Chimurenga, which peaked in 2000 and continued sporadically to this day. Few studies on smallholder irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe have focused on understanding how contestations for access to scarce land and water resources are framed and negotiated at the local level. Cognisant of this lacuna, this thesis uses social constructionism in examining, as a case study, Mushandike Smallholder Irrigation Scheme in Masvingo Province in order to understand and analyse how land and water politics occur at the local level.
