Harare residents have accused politicians from across the political divide of taking them for granted as water and electricity challenges that had eased in the run-up to the 23 August Harmonised Elections have now intensified.
During the electoral campaigns, senior ZANU PF politicians boldly proclaimed that load shedding was a thing of the past after the completion of two power generation units at Hwange Power Station.
The opposition CCC, which controls the Harare City Council, promised the electorate consistent water supplies.
Now residents are saying political parties’ campaign messaging was based on lies and deception as the water crisis and power cuts have become the order of the day, less than a month after the disputed elections.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa was declared the winner, with 52.6% of the vote while his party, ZANU PF, won a Parliamentary majority
Speaking to <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/power-water-crisis-haunt-post-election-zim/">Business Times</a> this week, Harare Residents Trust (HRT) director Precious Shumba said residents were taken for a ride by politicians. He said:
<blockquote>
Most suburbs have gone for a very long time without water in particular following the 23 August elections.
During the period in the run-up to the elections, most residents had access to municipal water, but soon after the elections the water supply almost dwindled or deteriorated to the extent that residents daily queue at community boreholes.
It is very sad that people are spending three to four hours queueing for water. Fights break out and the most affected are women and young girls.
It’s very sad that in some cases we do not have communities receiving bowsers from the local authorities. So, the situation is really desperate, it’s very bad.
</blockquote>
Shumba said the City of Harare should consider drawing water from Darwendale Dam, which is downstream of the heavily polluted main supply dam, Chivero. He said:
<blockquote>
Going forward we believe that the best solution would be for the City of Harare to get some of its water from Darwendale dam and they can also improve the situation by focusing on the replacement of underground water pipes that are obsolete and aged because currently when the city pumps its water nearly 40% is going to waste through leakages and bursts along the water distribution network.
So, if they address this it means that the little water pumped will reach the intended households.
</blockquote>
Harare residents are at risk of contracting water-borne diseases as they are now being forced to use water from shallow wells.
There were fears of a diarrhoea outbreak at the University of Zimbabwe that had gone for days without water.
Load shedding is not affecting Harare residents only, but Zimbabweans across the country.
The situation will likely get worse as the water level at Lake Kariba, the site of the country’s only reliable power plant, continues to fall.

Electricity, Water Cuts Haunt Post-election Zimbabwe

Anti-riot police officers were recently deployed to the Mfelandawonye section of Mkhosana suburb in Victoria Falls after residents clashed with council workers who were disconnecting water users for non-payment of bills.
The local authority was disconnecting water at homes where the owners owed US$100 and above in unpaid water bills.
The <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/watch-police-called-in-as-residents-block-council-water-disconnections/">Chronicle</a> reported that the council workers had disconnected six houses when they were confronted by irate residents which caused them to call for backup from police.
The residents complained about high water bills when most of the time their taps were dry.
A resident who spoke to the Chronicle said water usually comes at night during the time of the month when council officials visit homes to do meter readings. Another resident said:
<blockquote>
Bills are way too high yet we have no water on a daily basis. We don’t know maybe they are charging us for the bowser that supplies us fortnightly.
Most of the time we go and ask for water from other areas especially the CBZ side.
So they came and we didn’t know what was happening when we suddenly realised that they were disconnecting the water. We quickly mobilised and blocked them.
They had disconnected about six houses when we noticed and our concern is that they are doing this when no water comes out of our taps and they didn’t notify us.
They told us to make payment plans and we told them to supply us with water first so that we pay for services rendered. We are not refusing to pay but we only want service.
</blockquote>
Another resident said police officers who were deployed to the suburb did not harass people but sought to understand what was happening.
Victoria Falls mayor Councillor Somvelo Dlamini and Member of Parliament Godfrey Dube came and advised the council workers to stop the disconnections.
Vice-chairperson of Vic Falls Watchdog, which represents residents’ issues Sifiso Sibanda said:
<blockquote>
Our understanding is that there is no water and bills are too high. We don’t understand which water they are charging for when people get water only two days a month.
While we encourage people to pay for water because it’s a service we need, council should make sure there is water. 
They can’t go around disconnecting people when there is no water. This is not a new problem, it’s known but they are not bothered.
</blockquote>
Dlamini said the concerns raised by Mfelandawonye residents were genuine.
He said he had engaged Town Clerk Ronnie Dube and advised the team to put the exercise on hold and allow people to make payment plans.
Victoria Falls City Council started a US$4 million water, sanitation and hygiene project in which two reservoirs are being constructed.
Victoria Falls, like the majority of urban settlements in Zimbabwe, is run by an opposition-dominated council and service delivery has deteriorated alarmingly over the past two decades.

Victoria Falls Residents Clash With Council Workers Over Water Disconnections

The City of Bulawayo said that it has requested ZESA to give them advance notices of at least an hour before power cuts to allow the local authority to shut down the pumps properly.
Bulawayo City Council has been spending millions of dollars purchasing and installing new water pumps at its main pumping stations to ease Bulawayo’s water problems.
This was said by acting council director of engineering services, Sikhumbuzo Ncube during a stakeholders briefing meeting on Friday.
Ncube said unscheduled power cuts were damaging water pumps. <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/bcc-engages-zesa-on-power-cuts/">The Sunday News</a> quoted Ncube as saying:
<blockquote>
The kind of pumps that we have need proper shutdown of at least an hour or so. The challenge is that there is no proper power cut schedule which then affects our pumps. 
Council has requested ZESA to give advance notices of at least an hour to enable procedural shutdown of pumps.
We have also engaged the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) and this led to the installation of a 500 Kva transformer with enough capacity to power one booster for the pumps.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe is suffering a prolonged power shortage, especially after its main Kariba hydropower plant in December 2022 cut electricity generation due to low water levels.
The problem has been compounded by frequent breakdowns at Hwange Thermal Power Station, the shortage of coal to fire Harare, Bulawayo and Munyati power stations, and failure to pay for power imports from neighbouring countries.

Bulawayo City Council Engages ZESA On Power Cuts

The City of Harare has resumed water production two days after shutting down its water treatment plants citing a shortage of Aluminium Sulphate.
On Friday, 10 February, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/harare-city-announces-imminent-shutdown-of-water-production/">Harare City Council suspended water production</a> due to “critically low stocks of aluminium sulphate” which affected all parts of the city.
In a notice issued this Sunday, the local authority said it had received some aluminium sulphate from its supplier and had started treating water and pumping water. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
We would like to notify the public that we have received some aluminium sulphate from our supplier and have started treating water and pumping water.
The water however remains low with one pump coming to Warren Control and channelled to Letombo. The other medium pump is going to the western suburbs.
We urge members of the public to use available water sparingly and be patient while Council addresses the water chemicals situation.
</blockquote>

City Of Harare Resumes Water Treatment And Pumping

The Harare City Council has advised residents that the current electricity crisis in the country has affected the local authority’s capacity to supply water to residents within the scheduled water rationing scheme.
Load shedding has intensified in the past month with consumers going for at least 18 hours a day without electricity.
The power utility, Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), is currently generating around 500MW against a peak demand of 2 200MW.
The electricity crisis has been attributed to recurrent breakdowns at the Hwange Thermal Power Station as well as receding water levels at Kariba Dam which supplies water for power generation to Zimbabwe’s only reliable power plant, the Kariba South power station.
In a post on its official social media handle on Monday, the City of Harare said the power cuts have negatively affected the pumping of water to residents. It said:
<blockquote>
The City of Harare wishes to advise all the residents and other stakeholders that the incessant power cuts have affected the scheduled water rationing scheme.
Some parts of the city which receive water through a series of pumping will be greatly affected. Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted.
</blockquote>
ZimLive reported a source at Town House as saying the situation is dire as operations at the Morton Jaffrey treatment plant have virtually stalled.
Harare Residents Trust Director Precious Shumba said that water challenges in Harare’s suburbs started long before the current electricity crisis. Said Shumba:
<blockquote>
Electricity challenges have worsened the situation but the root cause of inadequate water supplies is the ageing underground water infrastructure, poor prioritisation of water provision and shortage of water treatment chemicals due to the unavailability of foreign currency.
Most suburbs have been experiencing water shortages for several months now, even before the electricity supplies worsened.

Load Shedding Has Disrupted Pumping Of Water, Says Harare Council

The City of Bulawayo said it will decommission Umzingwane Dam this Friday due to critically low water levels.
The development will worsen the city’s water crisis as residents are currently enduring a 72-hour weekly water shedding programme.
In a statement on Friday, Bulawayo Town Clerk Christopher Dube said Umzingwane Dam is being decommissioned as water levels have receded to just 6.6 per cent. He said:
<blockquote>
The City of Bulawayo would like to advise residents, stakeholders and members of the public that Umzingwane Dam (volume-6.6 per cent) will be decommissioned on Friday 9th September 2022 due to low water levels. This will result in five out of six dams remaining operational.
… Due to the low levels of Umzingwane dam, the city has been unable to meet its daily demand which averages between 155megalitres ML per day.
The maximum available raw water supply is currently below 120 ML/per day. As a result of the gap between demand and supply of 35ML/per day, the city has been on a water-shedding regime, which has been progressively implemented from a 48-hour to a 72-hour schedule.
The City of Bulawayo wishes to apologise to its valued customers for the inconvenience caused.
</blockquote>
Dube also revealed that Upper Ncema Dam was also critically low at 7.6 per cent while Inyakuni Dam is 45 per cent full and Lower Ncema 47 per cent full.
He said the only dams with water levels above 50 per cent are Insiza Mayfair at 69 per cent and Mtshabezi Dam at 71 per cent.
Dube blamed climate change for low rainfall in the dams’ catchment areas which has resulted in reduced inflows. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/bcc-decommissions-umzingwane-dam/">Chronicle</a>

Bulawayo Decommissions Umzingwane Dam Due To Low Water Levels

China has reportedly blocked the full release of US$144 million loans to Zimbabwe meant for the refurbishment of the Morton Jeffray waterworks in Harare. The move resulted from the government’s failure to pay back millions of dollars’ worth of debt to China. The Chinese had committed to advance US$144 million for the project, but only $72 million has been availed.
Harare City has experienced perennial debilitating water shortages for several years with some suburbs receiving intermittent water supplies. The water is reportedly undrinkable, often being dirty and muddy. Harare Mayor, Herbert Gomba refuted allegations that the loan facility was halted because of corruption by the current city fathers. He said
<blockquote>We had worked on more than 70% of the work using part of the $144 million. Only $72 million has been availed but the project stopped because of debts by the previous government.
… We were told by government officials that they sought to address the matter. There are discussions between governments on the matter and other matters we are told.
The nature of the deal is that we do not have access to any funds. We do not hold anything as the project is supervised by the Office of the President and cabinet and the Ministry of Finance. We are not taking seriously those making baseless allegations of corruption based on illusions or those desperate to make a name through lies yet they themselves are known fraudsters.</blockquote>

Morton Jeffray Refurbishment Stalls As China Withhold Loan Over Unpaid Debt

The Bulawayo City Council. which is set to embark on a 24-hour water shedding schedule for all suburbs on November 1, has been forced to decommission Umzingwane Dam due to low water levels. Upper Ncema Dam was decommissioned in July.
This leaves the city relying on Insiza, Inyankuni, Lower Ncema, and Mtshabezi which hold only 30,5 percent of their cumulative capacity. Council has warned residents who exceed their water rationing limits that restrictors would be installed on their taps, adding a 48-hour shedding schedule may soon be implemented.
Deputy director of engineering services Engineer Mente Ndlovu told stakeholders at a water crisis meeting yesterday that,
<blockquote>It is evident that the available water in the dams needs to be conserved and one of the strategies is to water shed. For a start a 24-hour regime is recommended but a 48-hour regime has been submitted for future planning. The proposed 48-hour water shedding schedule would be implemented if the rainfall situation does not improve. This is a bid to conserve the water and be able to manage the limited resources and declining dam levels.</blockquote>
