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

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

No food, worthless money...now this.

[Gay State Conservative]

I wonder if Comrade Bob is feeling the pinch of the water cutoff.

[volslover]

people could still boil water, sounds like they are going to use this to stretch to kill off people they don’t like

[SunkenCiv]

Whitey’s fault.

Thanks geo.

Hey, no food, so why would anyone need water?

[thackney]

So once the toilets quit working, what will be the new epidemic?

China’s going to pick up a nice colony cheap when these idiots are finished killing each other off and the USA is busy with it’s own troubles.

The urban water supply gets cut right in the middle of a cholera outbreak.

Observe and LEARN.....

The results of black racist, communist or Islamist leadership in a majority black environment....

Need I name a few examples of formerly safe, productive and advancing social standards -— prior to “home rule”?

Haiti, South Africa, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Angola, Namibia, Chad, Sudan, Somalia, etc, etc, etc.........
The record is clear, consistent and universal...

Chaos.

Coming to a city near you.

[Max in Utah]

Okay, NOW will they have a revolution?

It's hitting rock bottom when you can't even supply your capital city with water. This would be a prime opportunity to burn government buildings.

The Four Horsemen are riding in Zimbabwe.

If there was a way to control air supply, you can bet the people of Zimbabwe would be gasping like fish on a beach.

Headsonpikes’ Zimbabwe Redemption Plan Day One:

Arrest Robert Mugabe.

Kill the b*stard on live TV!

Put his dead on a pike in front of Government House.

Have a beer, count your blessings, get on with life.

[griswold3]

‘cholera epidemic’

How sad.

[headsonpikes]

That should read 'Put his head on a pike!

But 'dead' is good for that sonofab*tch in any event.

[yankeedame]

China’s going to pick up a nice colony cheap when these idiots are finished killing each other off and the USA is busy with it’s own troubles.

Oh, you mean like in the Congo? If that's the case China has a long wait.

[bunky]

Wasn’t this the plot of the new James Bond Movie?

[ctdonath2]

The gov’t there also stopped paying its soldiers, who are now picking up their salaries from taxpayers more ... er ... directly.

No food.
No water.
No military.

It’s over for Mugabe within days.
Finally.

[ctdonath2]

To what end? The farms are a wreck, infrastructure is vaporizing, and the residents are in full-on hysteria. These are easily destroyed (and are nearly gone now), but very hard to re-establish. What’s to colonize?

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Ian Smith still lives in Harare, from what I understand. He must be heartbroken at what's happened to that lovely country.

[tet68]

Usually Cholera is spread by contaminated water supplies,
sounds like that’s part of the problem.

Nasty stuff but treatable if caught in time.

Just finished reading about the London Epidemic,
it was all caused by one well next to an overflowing
cistern, interesting how one doctor and a priest were
able to figure out the point of infection.
