In 2021, council operated on a

Cleopas Shiri said council is now
looking at PPPs as a way of

"The missed target was due to

PRESS STATEMENT Mukanya Media Consultancy 2022

The management of River Valley Properties (Pvt) Ltd, has leant with great concern cases of
serious flooding in Woodlands Phase 2, which has affected residents and some houses being wa-
terlogged.

Although all necessary measures which included clearing and creating a new drainage system
were undertaken prior to the start of the rainy season, the area experienced unanticipated flooding.

Preliminary investigations done by our engineers have observed unforeseen challenges
that emanated and not limited to ongoing developmental projects and these are:

(1) Road construction exercise under which the contractor re-diverted the existing
drainage system resulting in rainwater flowing into Maphosa Plot and
subsequently Woodlands Phase 2.

(2) Mkoba 21 Housing scheme where construction work of roads is underway and
has also contributed to the diversion of water into Woodlands Phase 2.

Other challenges are as a result of human era as some residents are dumping rubbish,
ruble, among other items into the drainage system which is affecting the free flow of
water.
River Valley Properties has since engaged the City of Gweru, and the Contractors of the Lower
Gweru Road with a view of addressing the problem.

Our engineers are currently in the area assessing the impact and identifying possible solutions to
the challenges being faced in the area.

Residents and beneficiaries seeking drainage and other floods related issues should contact the
