‘Make Victoria Falls best world destination’
Leonard Ncube
Victoria Falls Reporter
As Victoria Falls entered its new city status in a colourful ceremony presided over by President Mnangagwa yesterday, it obtained the extra power of managing its own water supply instead of buying bulk supplies from the Zimbabwe National Water Authority, a power it has been seeking for some time as it upgrades services.
The President said the Second Republic strives to make Victoria Falls the best destination in the world, hence the need for new city to control its own water supply.
Zinwa presently is responsible for pumping bulk raw water from Zambezi River into a reservoir, from where the council treats and distributes to residents.
