The first major rains of the 2024/25 season, which pounded Masvingo on November 6, exposed the city’s poor drainage infrastructure.
As reported by <a href="https://tellzim.com/rains-expose-masvingo-citys-poor-drainage-system/">TellZim News</a>, heavy downpours nearly submerged parts of the Ancient City, with water flowing into houses and businesses, soaking food, clothes, and other goods.
Several streets in Masvingo’s central business district were rendered impassable, and the runoff flooded multiple shops downtown as well as numerous residences, particularly in the Mucheke and Runyararo West neighbourhoods.
Thomas Mbetu, the board chairperson of the Masvingo Residents and Ratepayers Association (MURRA), called on the local council to address the city’s drainage system, as flooding had become a recurring issue. He said:
<blockquote>
There is a need for the council to address the drainage system through regular maintenance and infrastructure upgrades to protect residents’ health, property, and overall quality of life.
Implementing effective drainage solutions can mitigate these impacts and foster a healthier and more resilient community.
Ineffective drainage leads to water pooling during heavy rains, increasing the risk of localised flooding, and damaging homes, vehicles, and infrastructure, resulting in costly repairs for residents.
Clogged drainages cause stagnant water which becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, increasing the risk of diseases such as malaria.
Poor drainage can decrease property values, affecting residents’ investments since water floods into their homes and businesses.
</blockquote>
Masvingo City Council Mayor Alec Tabe told TellZim News that the council was working towards improving and upgrading the drainage systems in the city. Said Tabe:
<blockquote>
The heavy rains were beyond our control but we have managed to open up all the drainage systems. With these types of heavy rainfalls, the drainages are easily clogged and closed up resulting in flooding of the CBD and most residential areas.
So far we have managed to install drainage systems in the high-density suburbs where we are targeting around 4km.
We were having problems in Runyararo West but we managed to widen the stream so that water will easily flow and that has reduced casualties this time around.
Our town is continuously growing, and the major contributor to these drainage chaos is the ever-growing Victoria Ranch, water runoff has increased and we are working on improving our drainage system, especially in the urban set-up.

Masvingo got lots of rain which flooded the city. Water went into houses and shops, ruining things. The city's drainage system is not good, causing floods. The council needs to fix the drains. Bad drainage makes water stay and cause diseases like malaria. It also ruins property and affects businesses. The mayor said they are working to improve the drainage system, especially in crowded areas. They are trying to prevent floods in the future.

Rains Expose Masvingo's Inadequate Drainage As Water Inundate Businesses And Residences

The Harare City Council plans to craft a Private Member’s Bill for the criminalisation of land and space barons allegedly involved in parcelling out land on wetlands and river courses to desperate home seekers.
Private bills are proposed laws that seek special powers or exemptions for a particular person or group. They are sometimes called private legislation.
Harare mayor Jacob Mafume (CCC) told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200021584/council-by-laws-to-criminalise-land-barons">NewsDay</a> that the local authority will push for legislation that defines land and space barons as criminal offences. He said:
<blockquote>
All those who are being threatened and extorted must report to the council, district officers and the police.
We will not tolerate the issue of land and space barons and accordingly, we will be drafting a private members Bill to clearly define land and space barons as criminal offences.
</blockquote>
Mafume’s remarks come after dozens of families in Budiriro and Kuwadzana suburbs were forced out of their homes by floods follwing torrential rains around Christmas.
On Sunday, resident associations condemned the continued parcelling out of land on wetlands by land barons, especially in Harare.
Harare Residents Trust (HRT) director, Precious Shumba, said corrupt council and government officials were working together with land barons to allocate people residential stands on the wetlands. He said:
<blockquote>
If you visit and interview some of the victims, they reveal that identified council officials have misled the City of Harare by collecting money from the land barons and promising the desperate home seekers that nothing will happen to them.
The government should come hard on these land barons as the victims have lost their savings through corruption.
</blockquote>
Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) director Reuben Akili said:
<blockquote>
As long as we do not address these needs, we are not accomplishing anything.
This is the third time people in Budiriro have been hard hit by floods and we would have loved a situation where they are allocated land suitable for housing.
</blockquote>
Land barons, most of whom are linked to ZANU PF, have been illegally selling council and State land to home seekers over the years.
Last week, ZANU PF distanced itself from land barons illegally parcelling out land in different parts of the country using its name and demanded that law enforcement agencies ensure that the law takes its course.
In a statement, ZANU PF acting secretary-general Patrick Chinamasa said that the ruling party did not condone the unlawful land occupations and illegal activities of land barons.

Land And Space Barons Should Be Criminalised - Mafume

More than 1 600 houses have reportedly been damaged by flash floods since the onset of the rainy season in October, resulting in the loss of properties valued at thousands of dollars.
According to <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/flash-floods-damage-1-600-houses">The Sunday Mail</a>, 52 people have been killed during incidents of adverse weather, while 28 have sustained injuries.
The largest number of damaged houses (688) was reported in the Midlands Province, with Mashonaland Central Province (400) the second most affected province.
Ministry of Local Government and Public Works communication and advocacy director Gabriel Masvora revealed that in Harare’s Budiriro 5B Extension, 51 residents have been evacuated. He said:
<blockquote>
Budiriro 5B Extension and Kuwadzana residential areas (paddocks) experienced flooding due to incessant rains on December 21 and 22, 2023.
Unfortunately, a minor aged six years was swept away in the Marimba River and the body has since been retrieved and awaits a post-mortem.
Several houses, household items and access roads were damaged.
Two evacuation centres, namely, Budiriro 3 Primary School and Kuwadzana 2 Primary School were identified.
Relief in the form of food and non-food items is being distributed to affected households.
For Budiriro Common Vision, 42 households were affected by the flooded Marimba River on Friday, December 22, around 2 AM.
The affected households lost their foodstuff and household property, while one house was destroyed.
Of the 42 affected households, only 12 families (51 people) volunteered to be evacuated to Budiriro 3 Primary School.
</blockquote>
Masvora said the rains had damaged property valued at nearly US$189 000.
Almost every rainy season, some urban settlements in Zimbabwe, especially Harare and Chitungwiza, experience flash floods as heavy and prolonged rain overwhelms the capacity of drainage systems.
Factors contributing to flooding in urban areas include inadequate drainage infrastructure, and the replacement of natural surfaces such as vegetation and soil with impervious surfaces like concrete and asphalt which reduces the absorption of rainwater, leading to increased runoff and flooding.
Another factor is poor urban planning and zoning, whereby city fathers approve construction in low-lying areas, river banks and wetlands.

Flash Floods Damage 1 600 Houses Countrywide

There is some sense of panic among Gweru residents residing in the flash flooding areas such as Mambo, Mtapa, Ascot Infill, Mkoba 6, Mkoba 4, 9, and 10 suburbs as the rains start.
Riverside and Nashville suburbs are also prone to flash floods which lead to flooding of homes.
Ms Marian Shumba of the Mambo suburb lost most of her property to floods in the last rainy season. Her three children were left with no food or blankets. The thought of floods traumatises her. She told the Chronicle:
<blockquote>
Every time it rains I get goosebumps all over my body. Council is still to clear the storm drains and if there are heavy rains, it will definitely flood.
</blockquote>
To prevent flooding in cities, authorities are encouraged to create flood plains and overflow areas for rivers, separate rainwater from the sewer system as well as install water infiltration and attenuation systems.
Mr Cornelius Selipiwe, Gweru Residents and Ratepayers’ Association director said the council was not doing enough to avert flooding challenges.
He said residents need to be taught on proper disposal of waste to avoid blocking drainages.
Meanwhile, City of Gweru public relations officer Ms Vimbai Chingwaramusee said the council has covered over 40 kilometres of culverts and drainage clearance.
Experts warned of flash flooding in low-lying areas and landslides in the eastern parts of the country.

“Every Time It Rains I Get Goosebumps" - Resident In Area Prone To Flash Flooding

The Victoria Falls City Council has urged residents to desist from blocking the smooth flow of water via the city’s drainage system as this results in flooding in residential areas.
A torrential downpour on Wednesday morning resulted in flooding in parts of the city.
On one hand, council authorities blame residents for the floods saying the storm drains are clogged by garbage comprising beer bottles and containers, plastic, diapers, used sanitary pads, rags and other items.
On the other hand, residents blame the local authority for the floods saying city fathers are failing to clear drains to prevent flooding.
The worst affected areas are the Hwange-Victoria Falls road whose eastern lane was destroyed near truck stop, Ingugama road in Mkhosana and Pioneer road in the industrial area, as well as some houses near the VID depot in Mkhosana.
Victoria Falls Town Clerk Ronnie Dube advised residents to remove any rubble in front of their premises as it is also contributing to the clogging of the drainage system. Said, Dube:
<blockquote>
We wish to advise the residents to desist from clogging the drainage system with litter and not to block the drainage system using soil in the name of seeking passage across the drain to their houses as this defeats the whole purpose of a drain and causes flooding.
Council will carry out an extensive exercise to identify and fine all those who clog our drainage system with building materials.

Heavy Rains Cause Flooding Victoria Falls

More than 250 families were affected by flash floods that hit Beitbridge town recently, the Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has said.
The floods affected residents of the Dulibadzimu suburb following a torrential downpour last week.
Speaking to <a href="https://zbcnews.co.zw/2022/11/02/more-than-200-families-affected-by-early-flash-floods-in-beitbridge/">ZBC News</a>, one of Dulibadzimu residents said flash floods have become a perennial nightmare for them. He said:
<blockquote>
For us, the rainy season comes with nightmares. When it rains at night, we wake up in a pool of water right inside our bedrooms.
What is more worrying is that we experience this almost on an annual basis and we feel hard done by our council.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge CPU chairperson, Sikhangezile Mafu said the government is mobilising resources to continue assisting the families affected by the flash floods. She said:
<blockquote>
While we move in to assist affected families, it is necessary that the council employ a long-term solution because we cannot be witnessing such catastrophes each time it rains. We need to decisively deal with this.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge Mayor, Councillor Munyaradzi Chitsuke, said the long-term solution to the problem of flooding is to renew the suburb. Said Chutsuke:
<blockquote>
Dulibadzimu floods are giving us sleepless nights as the council. We are working on strategies for building our capacity to relocate those houses in the long run.
Strategic partnerships with developers to renew this old suburb might be the ultimate solution.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge Town Council is also mulling de-silting the Wamlala River which is now flowing into some parts of the Dulibadzimu suburb.

Flash Floods Affect 250 Families In Beitbridge

A violent storm hit Beitbridge on Wednesday night leaving dozens of families without food as water flooded homes.
No deaths or injuries were reported but residents are without water after power to water pumps was cut off.
The Beitbridge district civil protection unit (CPU) on Thursday sent teams to assess damage in Dulivhadzimo high-density suburb, the worst affected.
CPU has issued an alert to potentially vulnerable areas in Chikwarakwara and Shashi where flooding occurs when there are storms.
Addressing reporters on Thursday, Beitbridge head of the CPU Sikhangezile Ncube said:
<blockquote>
We have tasked the municipality of Beitbridge to head a technical team that will make a detailed assessment.
The details we want should include the number of households, number of people, gender, and age of those affected. The immediate problem we have just established is the lack of food.
We are also looking for long-term solutions to end this problem we face perennially. We need a lasting intervention. It does not make sense that each year we fight floods in the same area.
</blockquote>
Beitbridge town clerk Loud Ramagkapola said the municipality was considering relocating the affected residents under its urban renewal programme.
Most of the people who were affected by the storm were vendors plying their trade near Dulivhadzimo bus terminus. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200002662/flash-floods-hit-beitbridge">NewsDay</a>

Flash Floods Hit Beitbridge Town

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Meteorological_Services_Department" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meteorological Services Department (MSD)</a> has advised members of the public to be cautious during thunderstorms and heavy rainfall as localised flash flooding remains possible.
In an interview with The Herald on Wednesday, MSD meteorologist Charity Denhere said that even though the light rains falling this week had produced no floods, hail, lightning and flash flooding were a probability going forward due to high temperatures experienced over the past several weeks. She said:
<blockquote>The department will continue monitoring the conditions and update the public accordingly.
The public is also being requested to provide feedback or information on disasters.</blockquote>
On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Victoria_Falls" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Victoria Falls</a> received 30mm of rain, whilst Mhondoro received 25mm, Karoi and Kariba 15mm and the rest of the country 10mm or less.
Denhere said that on Friday heavier storms are predicted for Manicaland, Matabeleland South, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Masvingo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Masvingo</a> and southern areas of Midlands
There is, therefore, a high chance of flooding in urban areas while insecure home roofs, schools and shopping centres could be blown off by strong winds.

MSD Forecasts Heavy Rainfall, People Advised To Be Cautious

The heavy rains which resulted in flash floods in the last three weeks have negatively affected people who live in informal settlements such as Hopley.   The floods have caused pit latrine toilets and septic tanks to overflow. Some people have been left homeless whenn their houses collapsed while others lost all their stocks of food and had their property destroyed.    GroundUp reports that Dapi College in Hopley which caters for 172 students from grades 1 to 7  lost its two classroo0oms.  Lessons are now being done in a shed owned by a church.
Residents of Hopley have accused the government of abandoning them.  They say they are yet to receive any sort of aid
Bothwell Petro, a representative of  Harare City Town Clerk said the said was not aware of the issue but promised to look into it.  He said:
