The road connecting Bulawayo to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, crucial for both local and international travel to one of Africa's premier tourist destinations, has deteriorated significantly. The road's condition, marked by large potholes, has become so notorious that it has ironically turned into a tourist attraction itself. This situation has led to numerous accidents, with vehicles like trucks losing axles, and has sparked widespread criticism of the Zimbabwean government for its neglect and mismanagement. Despite promises of repair, no substantial improvements have been made, reflecting broader issues of infrastructure maintenance in the country. Discussions online and among political figures highlight the urgency for action, with some humorously noting the potholes as a new attraction, while others express serious concern over the safety and economic implications for tourism.

Iraqi soldiers didn't throw babies out of incubators in Kuwait, Gaddafi didn't give soldiers Viagra to commit rapes, Iraq didn't have WMDs, Assad didn't use chemical weapons on his people in Douma, Hamas didn't behead babies, Afghanistan wasn't a success, and Russia was provoked
