Zomba City has got its first roundabout but Malawians on social media have mocked the design saying it looks like a well.
The roundabout which is the first in the former capital city has been built as part of a project expanding the Namiwawa Road in from a single lane carriage way to a dual carriage. It was revealed in May last year that the project was expected to cost K1.3 Billion.
The roundabout has been placed a along the road at place which offices.
On Social Media, Malawians have expressed displeasure with the design of the roundabout with some saying it looks like a roundabout.
“Olo roundabout yake ngati chodzalamo maluwa (it looks like a flower pot),” one person said.
“Eh koma ine ndimati chitsime😅😅😅🤣anthu aku Zomba tanyozeka (I thought it is a well. Zomba residents have been insulted),” another person.
Another Facebook user threatened to demolish the structure because it is ugly.
He wrote: “Akuti the first round about in Zomba. This is an insult! Which idiots approved this to be a roundabout? Ichi ndipanga dongosolo tikachigumulepo ichi (I will demolish this structure). A T-Junction was going to be much better.”
The Zomba City Council was yet to comment on the matter.
