The Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) has been accused by Gwanda mayor Councillor Knowledge Ndlovu of inciting residents to engage in violent demonstrations after cutting water supplies.
The Matabeleland South capital was dry today after Zinwa cut off water supplies to force the council to pay the outstanding $9,5 million, StarFM reported.
On Tuesday Gwanda Town Clerk, Ms Priscilla Nkala told a full council meeting that Zinwa had written to them saying the municipality was left with only three hours of water supplies.
Ndlovu said cutting water supplies was a security threat.
He said Gwanda Council should be allowed to run its water supplies reticulation system which involved pumping water to residents as opposed to relying on Zinwa, StarFM reported.
Council and Zinwa have been involved in a tussle over the issue of supplying water to the mining town for more than 10 years now.
