This place has a potential to become a township. This is so because of Shire river, M1 road passing through and railway line passing by close to the area. Let's utilise this opportunity.
There is a famous roadblock just before the bridge as you are heading for Blantyre. All vehicles including buses have to stop and searched by the police. A very effective roadblock.
I like it ,that's why I give it four stars
È um lugar de facil localizacao e bonito. Sobretudo o mais bom e importante è um lugar onde o transporte de passageiro esta 24horas em Movimento
This is the old dirt road route from Blantyre to Lilongwe. The village Zalewa is not at this bridge, Zalewa is situated on the new M1 at the Kamuzu Bridge which crosses the River Shire about 4 kms south west. Zalewa is becoming a busy little town with a new rail line being built close by and local and international traffic moving through. The Shire is a beautiful all year river and gives hydro power to Malawi.
