Unicef rehabilitates boreholes

BEITBRIDGE — Hundreds of villagers in Gukunze Village in the Tongwe area in Beitbridge have started benefiting from the rehabilitation of several boreholes which broke down years ago, leaving them with no source of clean water.

Village head Pasani Nyoni said the rehabilitation of the boreholes in his area, which serviced a total of 149 households in Pasani, Kone and Mgwalisani villages, had given locals hope after several years of scrounging for the precious liquid.

“People used to walk long distances to find water after the borehole in this village broke down in 2009,” he said.
