WATER insecure Bulawayo has received another timely boost after Coca Cola Foundation and Danish Church aid pledged US$50 000 for the drilling of six boreholes to service the metropolitan province.
The gesture follows last week’s commissioning of 10 boreholes at Epping Forest in Nyamandlovu by the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA).
These two projects will go a long way in solving the city’s perennial water challenges.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony of the six borehole water project in Emakhandeni high density suburb Thursday, city mayor Solomon Mguni said the project will enhance access to uninterrupted portable water by residents.
