The Mbudzi Interchange is strategically located at the intersection of Simon Mazorodze, Chitungwiza, and High Glen roads, a crucial point that facilitates traffic from western Chitungwiza and surrounding suburbs into Harare’s city centre. It also accommodates heavy national and regional traffic on the Harare-Masvingo Highway, making it one of the country’s most critical transport nodes.
The project, being implemented by Tefoma Construction—a consortium comprising Tensor Systems, Fossil Contracting, and Masimba Construction—is set to address severe traffic congestion that plagued the area. Previously, a roundabout managed traffic, but the rising volumes created bottlenecks, particularly during peak hours.
The Government views the development as a vital step in modernizing Zimbabwe’s road infrastructure, ensuring efficient transportation networks to support economic growth.
The renaming aligns with efforts to commemorate significant infrastructural milestones under President Mnangagwa’s administration. The project is expected to not only ease traffic flow but also symbolize progress and leadership as Zimbabwe pushes forward with Vision 2030.
Construction is ongoing, and the interchange is anticipated to become a landmark achievement in Zimbabwe’s urban development.
