Zimbabwe: Tackling the Bulawayo water crisis

https://www.freiheit.org/simbabwe/tackling-bulawayo-water-crisis

Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s second largest city, is currently facing one of its most severe droughts, exacerbated by the El Niño weather pattern. The city’s vulnerability to drought has led to a severe water availability crisis, with increasing demand and decreasing supply. Over one million residents are facing acute water stress with limited access to clean and safe water. Despite the implementation of a 120-hour water-rationing plan in December 2023, the situation remains critical. Water levels in the city’s reservoirs continue to fall, pushing residents to the brink of desperation. Proposed solutions such as boreholes and additional dams have failed to meet the needs of Bulawayo’s 1.2 million residents.

On April 5, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) introduced a new currency, the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), backed by 2,522 kg of gold and US$100 million in foreign currency reserves.

GERMAN Counsellor and Deputy Head of Mission in Zimbabwe Michael Ott has said the quality of Zimbabwe’s education system is fast deteriorating. “I have been here for a year in the country, unfortunately the education system in Zimbabwe has been going downwards, and I think that is a great danger because so far education is what has made Zimbabweans successful abroad. So I think that is one thing that we need to keep in mind and put into discussions,” he said.

Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe’s poor bear brunt of rioting prices

https://www.freiheit.org/simbabwe/zimbabwes-poor-bear-brunt-rioting-prices

UNDER the heavy African sky, an aura of unease seeps into Zimbabwe’s rural heartland. As the sun retreats behind the hills of Tandi communal lands in Rusape, Manicaland province, it casts long, spectral shadows over VaMamoyo’s small thatched hut. VaMamoyo is a woman of remarkable tenacity. Her skin, a complex tapestry of wrinkles, echoes tales of her endurance and resilience. Looking closely at a meagre assembly of grocery items that lay before her, she looks at them with a worried frown.

https://www.freiheit.org/de/subsahara-afrika/handel-mit-zusaetzlichen-risiken

Grenzüberschreitender Handel im südlichen Afrika lebt von Frauen, die im informellen Sektor tätig sind. Die Covid-Pandemie treibt viele dieser Händlerinnen in die Armut und setzt sie zusätzlichen Risiken aus. Die nationalen Regierungen und die Gebergemeinschaft sollten Konsequenzen ziehen und soziale Absicherung auch für Frauen im informellen Sektor zugänglich machen.
