Why Zimbabwe has declared Harare's roads to be a disaster

The potholed roads in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, are an increasing hazard for drivers. They are especially dangerous following heavy rains, as standing water hides some of the potholes.

Some residents have taken advantage of the poor state of the roads to fix potholes themselves, stepping in where the state authorities are not acting and collecting money from grateful drivers.
