Zimbabwe is facing a new cholera outbreak, affecting nearly 300 people across eight districts. The Ministry of Health and Child Care attributes the outbreak to infrastructure failures, particularly burst pipes contaminating water sources.
The situation is dire, with residents in Glendale navigating through pools of sludge due to neglected infrastructure. The Nyirongo family from Glendale had ten members rushed to the Tsungubvi Cholera Treatment Centre after showing symptoms.
Concerns remain about whether government measures, including drilling boreholes and providing water purification tablets, will be sufficient to quell the epidemic amidst ongoing sanitation issues.
