The floods we created

I have previously argued that the floods that have devastated parts of Harare are not merely an act of nature. They are a man-made disaster long in the making, born out of negligence, greed and the systematic erosion of sound urban planning.

The Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) is, therefore, correct in accusing the City of Harare of “creating its own flood disaster”.
