Harare residents have expressed concern over the water challenges in the city and warned that Harare is at risk of another cholera outbreak as the water situation has reached a crisis level, with many suburbs going without water for over a week.
The director of the Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA), Reuben Akili, emphasized that the water crisis is particularly worrisome as the hot season, known for water challenges and waterborne diseases, approaches. He said:
<blockquote>
In our view, the issue of water crisis which is happening when we are getting into the hot season which is characterised by water challenges and waterborne diseases is worrisome.
</blockquote>
Hardlife Mudzingwa, the director of the Community Water Alliance, accused the authorities of only treating the symptoms of the problem instead of addressing the root cause. Mudzingwa said:
<blockquote>
Despite cholera cases in Harare, the priority of the government from national tier to lowest tier (local authority) has been on treating symptoms of the problem rather than addressing the root cause.
</blockquote>
Precious Shumba, the director of the Harare Residents Trust (HRT), criticized the local authority for failing the residents and expressed concerns that primitive disease outbreaks would persist if service delivery and attitudes remained unchanged. He said:
<blockquote>
Primitive disease outbreaks will be with us for a long time as long as the attitude and level of service delivery remains as it is. We fear that the approaching rainy season will worsen the situation for residents.
</blockquote>
Rudo Chikodzore, the director for epidemiology and disease control in the Ministry of Health and Child Care, stated that they had a strategy in place to save lives, which had been successful in reducing the case fatality rate in Harare province during the recent cholera outbreak. Chikodzore said:
<blockquote>
This has been successful in Harare province as seen by a low case fatality rate of 0,4% for the metropolitan province despite a high number of cholera cases in the just ended cholera outbreak.
</blockquote>
This year, the cholera outbreak initially started in Chegutu in February and then spread across the country, with Harare reporting 1,616 suspected cases so far.

Harare Residents Warn Of Cholera Risk Due To Water Challenges And Shortages

Harare Mayor, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jacob_Mafume">Jacob Mafume</a> has accused the central government of interfering with the affairs of the local government authority saying that has crippled the local authority’s capacity to improve infrastructure.
Mafume who is also a Councillor for the opposition <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Citizens%27_Coalition_for_Change">Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)</a> made the remarks after President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s call for local authorities to improve infrastructure development. Mnangagwa said at the official opening of Highlands Park last week:
<blockquote>
I exhort the City of Harare to improve the infrastructure along development corridors, while at the same time enhancing access to water, refuse collection and upgrading the road network, among others.
</blockquote>
Mafume, however, said local authorities were hamstrung by government interference. <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/2022/07/govt-interference-crippling-hcc-mafume/">NewsDay</a> cites him as saying:
<blockquote>
We cannot improve in infrastructure development as <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Harare">Harare</a> because they have taken all the revenue streams that belong to the City of Harare. Even on devolution funds, they gave ZWL$73 million out of the budget exceeding ZWL$2 billion.
The little money we have, they are allocating that money on buying expensive fire trucks and expensive contracts that will not help the City. Budget allocation should come to the City so that we prioritise infrastructure. We should have a situation where the City sets up the priorities.
</blockquote>
The central government has often denied reports of interfering saying the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works just plays its oversight role on local government authorities. 
Harare Residents Trust (HRT) director Precious Shumba said Mnangagwa’s call should come with adequate funding for local authorities.
<blockquote>
The President’s call for the improvement of infrastructure is important. However, for this to happen, local authorities including the City of Harare should be allocated significant grants to undertake major infrastructural development projects.
For road projects, the City of Harare should be more transparent in the utilisation of City Parking revenues which should be used in upgrading road and parking infrastructure in the central business district.
</blockquote>
Shumba said the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) should develop a predictable system of funds’ disbursements to local authorities if the desired goal of ensuring service delivery is to be attained.
He added that on their part, local authority governments have not been transparent in the utilisation of other revenues they generate which is “always a major challenge in the implementation of infrastructure development projects.” 
Combined Harare Residents Association programmes manager Reuben Akili said the City of Harare needs to improve infrastructure development and since these were huge capital projects, devolution funds should be used. 
Akili also criticised the central government for setting priorities and dictating how these funds should be used to the extent of suggesting where to buy or purchase.
Akili speaks when Local Government Minister, July Moyo has been taken to court for allegedly imposing two deals (<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/14/govt-edits-the-us400-million-waste-to-energy-pomona-dumpsite-contract/">Pomona waste-energy deal</a> and the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/06/21/ultimate-beneficiary-of-firetrucks-deal-is-president-mnangagwas-associate-alyaksandr-zingman-report/">firetrucks deal</a> with Belarus) on Harare City Council.
