Zimbabwe: Health Crisis Looms in Harare As Refuse Piles Up

The opposition dominated local authority has not been collecting waste from residential areas, giving rise to illegal dumpsites.

Mosquitoes are now taking advantage of the heaped garbage with used baby diapers being part of he refuse dumped all over as residents try to reduce the piling rubbish from their homes. Residents have expressed concern over the poor service delivery by the councillors, pointing out the latter were living lavishly while neglecting the rate payers.Some of the streets have been narrowed by the waste, inhibiting the smooth flow of traffic, especially in the high density suburbs like Budiriro, Glen View, Glen Norah, Highfield, among others.

Mr Herbert Nyadzo, a Southerton resident has since forgotten the last time he saw refuse trucks collecting rubbish.
