Water-borne disease outbreak looming in Livingstone

Share

An epidemic is looming at Livingstone’s Town centre market popularly known, as the Zimbabwe market.

Some marketeers at the trading site have complained of poor sanitary conditions, a situation which has further been compounded by lack of water supply.

The marketeers told MUVI TV news that market authorities must come in and address the situation before an outbreak of cholera.

But when contacted, market chairperson, Shebby Mushabati attributed the situation to inadequate finances.

Mr. Mushabati explained that the market committee does not have enough funds to sufficiently address the problem.

He also complained of poor water supply, which he says is contributing to poor sanitation at the market.
