Cholera Outbreak / Zimbabwe
Five people have died in Zimbabwe’s capital Harare following a fresh cholera outbreak, city officials said on Friday. Six hundred new cases of the water borne disease have been recorded since the end of October. Harare City Council deputy director of health Prosper Chonzi said most of the deaths occurred at high density suburbs without access to clean water. “The fight against typhoid, which began in the city last year, is far from over as we continue to record fresh outbreaks,” he told state television on Friday. Typhoid is a bacterial disease transmitted by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with faeces of an infected person. Harare’s water supplies are heavily polluted by sewerage from burst pipes that go for days without repairs. A University of Zimbabwe environmentalist, Prof Chris Magadza, this week revealed that a river that feeds the city’s main water source – Lake Chivero – now supplied 50 per cent clean water while the remainder was “our returned urine”.
