The Mabvuku well is mid-way between Ruwa and Harare, and is being used by thousands of residents there from 4am until late at night – it’s a source far from any sewage leaks but under strain with the demand being placed on a limited resource.
The rainy season is starting here. It’s a mixed blessing because rains are desperately needed for crops to feed the hungry, but rain water flowing through the streets, mingling with overflowing sewage, will cause havoc to open wells that are the residents’ only lifeline to water.
