Severe diarrhoea outbreak hits Chiadzwa evictees

BY KENNETH NYANGANI
FORMER Chiadzwa villagers who were relocated to Arda Transau in Odzi, Manicaland province, have been hit by a severe diarrhoea outbreak after drinking water from unprotected sources.

The villagers have been fetching water from unprotected wells after Zesa Holdings cut electricity supplies last year over a $353 000 debt, disrupting pumping of water from Odzi River.

This has resulted in over 5 000 households getting affected, amid reports that five or six diarrhoea cases are reported daily.
