ZIMBABWE is now looking beyond its borders for investors in the water sector, in a bid to find a lasting solution to the water crisis faced by the country.
The country's major cities Harare and Bulawayo are currently grappling with a water crisis that has seen residents going for a long time without the precious liquid.
Minister of Water Resources Development and Management, Samuel Sipepa Nkomo said the government was failing to provide water to consumers due to limited resources and challenged local and international investors to consider investing in water management systems in the country.
Sipepa Nkomo said there was about US$2 billion worth of viable investments in the water sector.
