Zimbabwe: Communities in the dry regions such as Matabeleland South province and the predominantly Kalahari sands of Matabeleland North province are feeling the pinch of water shortages due to the current drought being experienced.

The entire Matabeleland region, which depends mainly on underground water, is in a difficult situation as most boreholes have been overwhelmed by demand.

People in Matabeleland North province said as the effects of drought become more pronounced, mitigation measures on water challenges are needed urgently as people, livestock and wildlife are in danger. ZBC News
