DT Fact Checkers
Claim: Picture circulating on social media claiming to be Trabablas Interchange.
Source: Simbarashe Munhemba X account
Verdict: false
Context: Fadzai Mahere raised a debate on May 31 about the recently launched Trabablas interchange saying that it looks like a construction site and it is poorly constructed. A picture was posted in the comments buttressing how the bridges were poorly joined.
Findings: Using google reverse image showed that the same picture was posted on X in August 2024 by Civil Engineering Information.
The same picture was also posted on Instagram on 19 April by an account titled welders. Life_.
The account does not belong to a Zimbabwean. On May 20 the picture was posted on Instagram handle of hilotechconstruction, a company from Cameroon.
Conclusion
The picture is not of the Trabablas interchange as it was posted on different times in different countries before the completion of the interchange.
