Harare - Zimbabwe has cut water supplies to the nation's capital Harare, state media reported Monday, leaving most of the city dry as authorities struggle to contain a cholera epidemic.

Since the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) had failed to find chemicals to treat the water supply, the state-run utility on Sunday stopped pumping water in the capital, the government mouthpiece Herald newspaper said.

"Most parts of Harare - including the city centre - did not get water yesterday (Sunday) amid claims by Zinwa staff that the authority had stopped pumping after it ran out of one of the essential chemicals," the Herald reported. - AFP

My heart bleeds for the PEOPLE of Zimbabwe, like the PEOPLE of this country. Unfortunately, we as the people have put who we have in power. It is humankind's way to screw everything up by greed, ignorance and lack of humanity or humility. To anonymous "WITH INTEREST". If the people of this country would get off thier fat lazy asses there would not be the issues there are, and as far as Jacob sorting anything out. WAKE UP!

Zimbawe is a typical example of Africa's democracy. The only way you will get rid of the old man is with a bullet not the ballot. Sadly to say the electorate in SA is as ignorant and uneducated and will also support the ANC no matter how corrupt and inept. In the end when they have sucked the country dry, we will have another "revolution" and the west will have to bail out another fledging african country, once properous. SAD FACT OF AFRICA

The Chiefs fight for the spoils while the people suffer. The sad thing is the ignorant masses will vote for them again, mostly out of fear and lies. They have nothing now and will never have something and they all share the euphoria of having won the election but tonight they will go to bed hungry again. In the end a civil war breaks out and one skeniving idiot is replaced by the next

Sizwe is correct, they did vote for him and they've done so 4 28 years, the same thing in Mozambique, Malawi, Madagascar, and every other African country that's now stuffed. And now we're letting it happen here in South Africa, we need to get the ANC out in this next election otherwise it'll be too late, we all need to vote, and we need to show the uneducated what happens if they vote for the wrong party.

Africa's holocaust. History will judge SADC, and SA as the regions' "super power", harshly for this. Mugabe should have been removed when he lost the elections. To allow this sham of a power sharing deal to meander aimlessly and uselessly along while people are dying by the thousand is shameful.
