Glen View faces sewage crisis

RESIDENTS of Harare’s Glen View 3 are grappling with a public health crisis as flowing sewage has created breeding ground for communicable diseases like cholera, dysentery and typhoid.

Combined Harare Residents Association secretary for ward 3, Joyleen Nyachuru, expressed grave concern over the crisis’ impact on the health of the community.

“Some children are now suffering from diarrhoea, suspectedly from the sewage overflow and instead of addressing the sewage issues, city council workers are focusing on unnecessary areas,” she said.
