Masvingo runs dry

Masvingo residents are living in fear of a fresh cholera outbreak as city taps have gone dry for the past three days.

As a result, residents have resorted to using water from unprotected wells along Mucheke River while a few lucky ones were fetching water from the few boreholes sunk by Care International (Zimbabwe), a non-governmental organisation.

Masvingo mayor Alderman Femius Chakabuda attributed the crisis to a burst water pipe which he said needed at least four days to be repaired.
