By Own Correspondent| ZANU-PF’s Namibia Chapter has joined the fray of well wishers contributing towards the cholera fight  by donating detergents worth about $1 700.

The chapter joins the Government, its development partners and the private sector including churches, who have donated in cash and kind towards the fight against cholera which has to date claimed at least 49 lives.

The outbreak of the water-borne disease has since been declared a State of Emergency.

The donation is targeted at helping school children at the epicentre of the cholera outbreak — Budiriro and Glen View.

Namibia Chapter interim chairperson Cde Mahwani Kangausaru said the donation is meant to augment the efforts by Government and other well-wishers in containing the cholera outbreak.

Said Kangausaru:

“We are delighted that we have managed to contribute something in response to the cholera outbreak.

We are aware of the financial challenges the health sector is going through and we decided to help. We hope our donation will come in handy.”
