‘ED’s promise a political gimmick’

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s visit to Bulawayo last week and his promise to assist in resolving the water crisis in the city has been described by residents and human rights activists as a political gimmick.

They said if Mnangagwa was sincere, the Zambezi water project would have been long finalised since he has been in government since 1980.

Bulawayo has this year experienced its worst water crisis with residents currently going for six days without running water in their homes while some areas claim to have been without water for more than six months now.
