Sewage nightmare engulfs Rusape

RESIDENTS of Rusape are trapped in a stinking crisis as raw sewage floods their homes and street, with Rusape Town Council employees refusing to act without direct payment by the affected parties.

In Vengere, a densely populated suburb, streets are awash with sewage, posing a dire health risk to residents, prompting council workers, who have gone for years without adequate pay, to cash in on the crisis by demanding up to US$10 from residents to fix blockages, with no receipts issued.

The situation has sparked outrage, with residents pleading for urgent action to address the crisis.

As the stench of sewage wafts through homes, residents are left wondering when their council will prioritise their health and dignity.

The presence of raw sewage in the overpopulated high-density area poses a dire health threat.

Stagnant wastewater breeds disease-carrying vectors like mosquitoes and flies, contaminating water sources and food.
