PUPILS and teachers at a number of government schools in Bulawayo have been left exposed to communicable diseases after the city council cut water supplies due to failure by the state to settle a $12 million debt.
Under the Covid-19 prevention regulations, all schools and other facilities where large crowds gather are required to have constant water supplies.
Lack of water supplies also exposes residents to communicable diseases such as cholera and typhoid.
