On social media this morning, Malawians have expressed support for those who have destroyed the roundabout.<\/p>\n

One person on Facebook said: \u201cIf we transfer this courage and boldness to other departments,,anthu andalewa sibwezi pano akutitolanso ayii (politicians would stop taking us for fools) ,,that roundabout was mockery to people of Zomba, was that a well or roundabout?

Another said: \u201cDestroying it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean Zomba people don\u2019t need it but the City Council should construct a modern one!\u201d The Zomba City Council and Police are yet to comment. The roundabout was constructed as part of a K1.3 billion road project upgrading the Namiwawa road into a dual carriage road.<\/p>\n
