Terrence Mawawa| Masvingo |Masvingo is left with only two months of water supply, after the failure by the army and police to settle a huge bill of $10 million in unpaid water bills.
Cash shortages have resulted in the failure by the city to purchase equipment to pump water from Lake Mutirikwi. Masvingo Mayor Hubert Fidze made the revelation at a stakeholders meeting, adding that the City did not have the capacity to cut water supplies from the uniformed forces to recover the money.
The water level at Lake Mutirikwi has become critically low such that there is need to purchase equipment to draw the precious liquid from the all time low level.
Fidze told residents at a stakeholders and community feedback meeting facilitated by the Election Resource Centre at the Civic Centre, that the local authority did not have the funds to purchase the required equipment.
Fidze said the local authority had no capacity to disconnect water supplies from the uniformed forces. “The city of Masvingo will run of water in the next two months if the local authority fails to secure the required money to buy equipment to pump water from the critically low level at Lake Mutirikwi.”
“We therefore call on residents to cooperate with us during these difficult times,”said Fidze.
Irate residents of the ancient city told the mayor to disconnect water supplies to the army and the police in order to recover the money owed to the city council. The quality of drinking water has also drastically deteriorated as a result of the critically low level of the liquid in Mutirikwi Dam.

That was allocated in the last budget only but you’ll find that the money they owed dates back several years. Them and Zanu are in the habit of going for years without paying their utility bills. You cannot run a country like that as eventually it will come back to bite you.

Does Hubert Fidze remember how much was allocated to the army and the police in the last budget, the famous $4bn budget? There is no capacity for army and police to pay that much for water for masvingo only?

Shonas should learn to raise their voices and complain like the people of Bulawayo and Mthwakazi do. Now the city of Fort Victoria has been turned into a ghost town. I mean, what do you gain from Shona solidarity? Does that bring water? Does that put food on the table? You cant all pretend to be from Bambazonke. Even Bambazonke has now turned into shit!!
