African Governments Race For Sustainable Water Supply

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_column_text]

As governments race to drill boreholes and fill up water tankers, residents want solutions for a sustainable water supply that will last long after the pandemic.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_column_text]

Fifty people and their cattle share the only borehole in Gongu village in southwestern Zimbabwe, meaning frequent handwashing to fight the coronavirus is easier said than done. Across drought-hit southern Africa, COVID-19 has spurred governments to dispatch water tankers, drill boreholes and repair taps – solutions experts and residents of thirsty slums and villages say must last long after the pandemic has passed.

“We’re calling for the government to do more because at the moment there are few boreholes,” Khulekani Ncube, Gongu village’s headman, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone. “Most villagers don’t have soap and masks to protect themselves against the virus. But we conserve the little water we have to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” he said.

Many central and western parts of southern Africa – including Zimbabwe – have experienced their lowest rainfall since 1981 over the past year, according to the United Nations, highlighting inadequate water access across the region. Nearly 70% of Africans would struggle to access food and water if in lockdown for 14 days, according to a report by the Partnership for Evidence-based Response to COVID-19 (PERC), a consortium of global public health organisations.

The report  found that social media comments from Africans, specifically in central and southern regions, spotlighted the “incomprehensibility” of following hand-washing instructions in areas with little water. As authorities scramble to boost immediate water supplies, tapping state funds or in partnerships with charities, specialists say longer-term solutions might prove more cost-effective too.

“Water tankers are good for emergencies, but one of the most expensive water solutions out there,” said Barbara van Koppen, a southern Africa researcher with the International Water Management Institute, a non-profit research organisation. “We need to use the coronavirus crisis to question: what are short-term solutions and what are long-term?” she said in a phone interview.

South Africa has more than 7,200 confirmed coronavirus cases, the highest on the continent, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. The South African government sent an estimated 7,700 water tanks and 1,200 water trucks to villages and townships across the country, the official news agency reported. “We’re looking into using reservoirs, drilling boreholes and making use of groundwater too,” said Sputnik Ratau, a spokesman for the country’s water and sanitation department.

Some communities say they are tired of waiting for lasting solutions to the long-standing problem. “Some villages have not had running water for over 20 years,” said journalist Ndivhuwo Mukwevho from Limpopo, South Africa’s northernmost province, who wrote about the delivery of 132 water tanks to drought-stricken villages in the province in early April. “Access to water will help with hand washing, but also cooking, drinking and cleaning,” Mukwevho said. “We just hope the water tankers are still here after the pandemic.”

Across the border in Zimbabwe, which has at least 34 coronavirus cases, 62,000 litres (16,000 gallons) of water have been distributed during the outbreak, said Moment Malandu, coordinator for the government rural infrastructure agency in Matabeleland South province.

As they wait for more emergency water aid, people are innovating too. Gongu villagers use five-litre buckets called “Tippy Taps” that slowly dispense water through an attached nozzle, aiding hand washing and making their borehole supply last longer. More permanent measures are also in the pipeline.

Malandu said the coronavirus pandemic had spurred ongoing repairs of 1,200 water points and accelerated plans to help drill 600 new boreholes in Zimbabwe’s eight provinces. In Malawi, which has at least 41 coronavirus cases, the government’s COVID-19 response includes a $5.6 million water distribution plan, involving the construction of solar-powered water systems and the repair of existing water sources.

Mozambique, which is still recovering fromtwo devastating 2019 cyclones, has partnered with the United Nations to establish a COVID-19 municipal task-force to assess key water points for people with disabilities and in informal settlements. The government has also suspended collection of a water supply tax in rural areas during the current crisis, according to a United Nations report. Mozambique has reported at least 80 cases of the virus according to Johns Hopkins University.

In West Africa, the Ebola outbreak led to an increase in demand and supply of water to prevent the spread of the disease, according to a water security report published by K4D, a platform for evidence-based research.

The researcher van Koppen said there was enough water in southern Africa, urging governments to prioritise and invest in water infrastructure to ensure demand is met during the coronavirus crisis and beyond. “Governments need to start with what is already there. For example, often there are boreholes that already exist but don’t work as they are badly maintained,” she said, adding that asking communities what they need is an important first step. “There is actually enough water to go around,” van Koppen said. “It’s just about prioritisation. Do we use it for luxury uses, such as golf courses, or do we invest in water infrastructure where it’s most needed?”

Chicken Hut to open more branches across the country

FAST-FOOD chain, Chicken Hut, plans to open five more branches as part of its expansion drive that is targeting major markets across the country.

At the moment the fast-food outlet has two branches in Harare and one each in Kwekwe and Gweru respectively.

It now plans to open branches in Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Beitbridge, Zvishavane and Masvingo.

The company entered into a partnership deal with fuel supplier, Puma in a deal that will see the fast food outlet opening a shop at every Puma garage.

Head of digital marketing Ms Florence Mudzingwa said they were aiming at opening five more branches across the country with two already at advanced stages. Of the five, three will have food sections and coffee shops.

“Chicken Hut is looking at opening a further five more branches this year starting with Victoria Falls, which is already 80 percent complete.

“The branch will also have a coffee shop, which will cater for the Muslim  community and will be a first in the country,” she said.

Ms Mudzingwa said more branches were earmarked for Bulawayo, Zvishavane, Masvingo, and Beitbridge.

Chicken Hut has embraced technology in its operations and won a digital marketing accolade late last year at an awards ceremony in Bulawayo.

The firm has launched a diaspora food delivery system, which allows diasporans to order food for their relatives and friends at home.

“We have just launched a diaspora food delivery service, which enables people in the diaspora to order food on their WhatsApp platform and within 45 minutes, the food would have been delivered to their loved ones in Zimbabwe where Chicken Hut has a branch,” she said.

Ms Mudzingwa also said they were looking forward to setting up virtual kitchens in some selected places.

“Zimbabwe has a lot of potential and one has to think outside the box and learn and introduce new concepts that are in line with promoting the food industry.

“We are, therefore, thinking of introducing virtual kitchens for some customers who would prefer delivery over sitting in,” she said.

“In fact this one is in motion and we have already started delivering food in most of our branches, but what we are doing is that we are modernising the concept so that it becomes more digital,” she said.

How Mugabe clung to power for almost 40 years.

In an action bearing all the hallmarks of a coup, Zimbabwe’s military confirmed early Wednesday that it had taken control of Zimbabwe and its leader, President Robert Mugabe. There had long been concerns over the health of the 93-year-old president and what would come next for the African country he has ruled since 1980.

Although a statement read by Maj. Gen. Sibusiso Moyo stressed that the developments did not constitute a “military takeover,” Mugabe’s 52-year-old wife, Grace Mugabe, also appeared to be in military custody. She was believed to be his most likely successor as the leader of Zimbabwe.

Wednesday’s announcement could end the era of one of Africa’s most notorious rulers, who brutally crushed many of his domestic critics and opponents over almost four decades. Once a political opponent himself, Mugabe grew up in Southern Rhodesia, a former British self-governing colony. After becoming a schoolteacher, he joined an opposition group to oppose British rule but was jailed and later forced into exile in Mozambique. With the British withdrawal from the territory of Southern Rhodesia, Mugabe grasped the opportunity and ran in national elections on the promise to distribute the country’s resources in a more equitable fashion.

Guerrilla leader Robert Mugabe narrowly escaped injury when 80 pounds of remote-controlled explosives were detonated under a convoy of cars taking him to the Fort Victoria Airport in southern Rhodesia. It was the second apparent assassination attempt on the black leader who made a triumphal return home two weeks ago after almost five years in exile.

Prime Minister Robert Mugabe took the oath of office shortly after midnight in a ceremony at Salisbury’s main stadium while representatives of about 100 countries and about 35,000 cheering Zimbabweans watched. Mugabe, the guerrilla leader most feared by the white-minority community before his election last month, made an eloquent plea to the people of Zimbabwe to end the hatred of seven years of war.

“The wrongs of the past must now stand forgiven and forgotten,” the new prime minister said in a speech he wrote. “If yesterday I fought you as an enemy, today you have become a friend and ally with the same national interest, loyalty, rights and duties as myself.”

1980: The exodus of Zimbabwe’s white population speeds up

About 1,500 to 2,000 people a month leave the country following the country’s declaration of independence.

Starting in 1982: Mugabe accused of military atrocities against opponents

Zimbabwe’s military begins an operation in the Matabeleland region against a perceived uprising.

Villagers, clergymen and mission hospital workers told journalists on an Army-escorted trip through the region of summary executions, beatings and rapes they said were committed by soldiers in an offensive against antigovernment dissidents.

July 1985: Mugabe stays in power despite allegations of human rights violations

Mugabe wins a landslide victory in the first national election since coming to power. His supporters argue that Mugabe has largely succeeded with implementing the right to a free public education that was a key campaign issue five years earlier.

1987: Mugabe is declared president

The newly created position also makes him the head of state and the commander in chief, in addition to being the head of government, vastly expanding his powers and those of his party, the ZANU-PF.

1994: Mugabe becomes an honorary British knight

In a sign of how popular Mugabe is at the time, both domestically and internationally, the leader is awarded the honorary British knighthood. (It is later withdrawn in 2008.)

February 2000: Setback for Mugabe’s plans to seize properties of white people

Land ownership was at the heart of Zimbabwe’s liberation war in the 1970s, but when the colonial government and Mugabe's guerrillas negotiated the transfer of power in 1979, the rebels — eager to assume power — agreed that land could only be acquired from white settlers through fair-market purchases.

While Zimbabwe’s black population is mostly rural and widely in support of land reform, they focused their anger on Mugabe’s failed fiscal policies and mismanagement, which many blame for steering the country into its worst economic crisis.

(In Feb. 2000, voters) rejected President Robert Mugabe’s proposed revisions to the constitution that would have given his government authority to seize lands from the descendants of British settlers without compensation.

Starting in 2000: Mugabe’s land-seizure campaign

Despite the resistance, Mugabe pursues the controversial seizure of properties owned by whites.

Hundreds of the president’s relatives and supporters, (including his own wife) as well as senior government officials and their families, have been given commercial farms seized from white owners, according to civic groups and government records. (...)

The evictions have come as southern Africa is grappling with its worst food shortage in decades, and critics say Mugabe’s land grab has combined with drought to worsen the situation by replacing Zimbabwe's most productive farmers with inexperienced ones.

March 2005: As an election nears, Mugabe uses famine as a political weapon

Ahead of a crucial parliamentary election in April 2005, Mugabe's regime decides to withhold food deliveries from political opponents, as resistance against his government reaches unprecedented levels. A Post reporter observes:

The officials first held a rally by their impressive mound of food, witnesses here said. The next day, as hundreds of people from surrounding villages gathered to collect the 110-pound bags they had ordered and paid for months before, ruling party officials announced that only their supporters were eligible.

Human rights reports say withholding food from opponents is nothing new for the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front, the party of President Robert Mugabe. But this year, the threat of starvation is creating a potentially potent backlash against ZANU-PF.

April 2005: Mugabe wins another election, as the opposition declares itself too weak to protest the ruler 

Zimbabwe’s opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, ruled out organizing demonstrations against what he called the “fraudulent” results (of the) parliamentary elections, saying his party could not mount a protest large enough to force President Robert Mugabe from power.

The same year, the U.S. government declares Zimbabwe an “outpost of tyranny.”

Zimbabwe is in the grips of its worst crisis since independence from Britain in 1980. Power, water, health and communications systems are collapsing, and there are acute shortages of staple foods and gasoline. Unemployment is around 80 percent, and political unrest is high.

Mugabe blames Western sanctions and rejects criticism that the meltdown is the result of mismanagement and the often-violent seizures of thousands of white-owned farms he ordered beginning in 2000.

2008: Mugabe loses presidential election but remains in power 

After Mugabe announces his plans to resign following a major electoral defeat, Zimbabwe’s military chief urges him to stay in office — indicating a tightening grip of the military on Mugabe’s government, according to The Post’s dispatch at the time. 

According to two firsthand accounts of the meeting, Chiwenga told Mugabe his military would take control of the country to keep him in office or the president could contest a runoff election, directed in the field by senior army officers supervising a military-style campaign against the opposition.

September 2008: Power-sharing deal is signed in Zimbabwe

President Robert Mugabe ceded a large share of control over Zimbabwe’s government Monday, in a power-sharing agreement that loosened his absolute hold over the nation.

2009: Mugabe’s prestige project, free public education, falls apart

As recently as the 1990s, Zimbabwe’s public education system was considered the best in sub-Saharan Africa, producing a literacy rate that still hovers around 90 percent. But the system is now on the brink of collapse, and the new unity government says rescuing it is one of its most immediate challenges.

In the following years, Mugabe continues to lose control and is increasingly featured in international media with comments and decisions that range between controversial, desperate and bizarre:

Robert Mugabe fell over, tried to hide it and ended up becoming a meme

Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe is asking Britain for human skulls

Zimbabwe is planning to print its own ‘U.S. dollars’

Mugabe says of Obama’s gay rights push, ‘We ask, was he born out of homosexuality?’

Mugabe empties his prisons because he can’t pay for them

Now you can be jailed in Zimbabwe for flying its flag

2013: Mugabe’s party wins back majority

In an election widely derided as rigged by critics and observers, Mugabe's party achieves a majority and ends the need for a power-sharing agreement.

2016: New anti-government protests

In 2016, protests erupt against the government which are mainly rooted in the country's continuously weak economy.

Mugabe may have clung to power despite multiple challenges to his rule, including during protests last year, but Wednesday’s military announcement indicates that time for Africa’s oldest leader may finally have run out.
