More than 2 million residents of Zimbabwe’s capital on Tuesday were left without drinking water after authorities shut down the main treatment plant, further worsening a region beset by economic instability and drought.
Tuesday’s shutoff comes as the country is still reeling from the worst cholera outbreak in a decade. Meanwhile, water levels in polluted reservoirs have dropped because of drought.
Officials in Harare have struggled to raise the necessary $2.7 million in foreign currency needed to import water treatment chemicals.
City Council spokesman Michael Chideme said everyone living in Harare is affected and that some residents have turned to other options, such as bottled water.

A city of 2 million can’t raise $2.7 million for basic water services. INCREDIBLE!!
And exactly the reason to NOT live in cities but to be as self-sufficient as possible.
“I ain’t gonna play Sun City!”
Remember when it was the breadbasket of Africa? Something seems to be missing.

Exactly! Where are all the do-gooders now? That help to destroy a once very prosperous nation then ignore the results of their handiwork.
So much for ‘Black Pride’. Can’t even keep the water running.
Indeed.
Look at Chicago’s government and Cook County’s, especially the State’s Attorney. Same thing coming there.
Does this have anything to do with the “natives” running the country? Hmmm....
Without question. San Fag has already started down that road.
I think we have a winner. Few of those pesky white people around to muck things up.
Reminds me of the early 2000s when Zim couldn’t print inflated currency because they had no hard currency to buy the ink and paper.
Yes. If it does, and your water supply is cut off then plug your bathtub and drain as much water as possible into it. I have an expandable water barrel just for that purpose, to fill with water during an emergency. Also have crates of bottled water, and water purification filters for use on contaminated water to purify. You can reclaim a lot of water from pipes, hoses and your water heater. And guard your supplies!
Tough toenails. They get what they sow! https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/heres-what-happened-when-zimbabwe-seized-white-farmers-land/
Zimbabwe’s leader is going around the world looking to line His pockets just like the last President who served 37 years to fund his lavish lifestyle. None it goes to the people!
Zimbabwe, Detroit, flint; east st louis, Ill, gary, Indiana, Harvey, ill. Just an observation but is there a pattern here? Anything in common?
The best thing that could happen to Africans is for the colonialists to come back and run the place again.
But who in their right mind would want to do that?
I live in the sticks—well here. :-)
New Orleans, Memphis, Watts, Anacostia, Baltimore...the list unfortunately is almost endless.
