Terrence Mawawa|Outspoken MDC Alliance official Tendai Biti has blamed the government for failing to prioritise health matters resulting in the proliferation of the deadly cholera epidemic.

In a tweet yesterday Biti said: ” The cholera crisis is unpardonable as it is
man made. This government has failed to provide capital funding to local authorities to address water infrastructure challenges .

They have failed the people . The International Community sadly must fill in the gap.”

“There is an urgent national health crisis beyond cholera.In places like Kariba , Lupane ,Nkayi , Kadoma, Chitungwiza and Gwanda there are zero drugs in state institutions.There is also no running water . This is State failure at its highest . The Global Health Fund and WHO must help,” added Biti.

Cholera has killed 21 people in Harare while 2300 have been hospitalised.
