The Mtshabezi-Umzingwane water project set to ease a century old Bulawayo water problem is now complete. The Minister of Water Resources Development and Management Sipepa NKomo confirmed.
The project awaits approval from Engineers based in South Africa who are yet to inspect the whole project before water can be pumped into the city of Bulawayo.
The completion of the Mtshabezi-Umzingwane water pipeline is a major boost to the ailing city which has been dogged by massive relocation of industries as companies shunned the city for lack of water. The project which has taken two years will be commissioned after the engineers from South Africa have finished the inspection process.
The majority of people in Bulawayo were at the risk of contracting various water borne diseases owing to unsafe water storage practices devised by people to avert the water shortages in homes.
