The Civil Protection Unit (CPU) says water samples collected from Murare River after 30 000 litres of creosote termite poison spilled into the water body are still undergoing final laboratory analysis.
This comes after a truck that was travelling from South Africa overturned and spilled the chemical into the river which is a tributary of Save River.
Acting Manicaland Provincial Director (Local Government Services and Administration), John Misi told <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/poisoned-river-water-undergoing-tests/">The Manica Post</a> that CPU has advised community members to avoid drinking water from the river and nearby boreholes until the final lab results confirm that the water is safe. He said:
<blockquote>
We have advised community members to avoid drinking water until we receive the final lab results, which are expected by the end of this week.
According to preliminary results, the water appears clear and free of contamination, but we want to be extra careful and confirm the quality before proceeding.
The tests are being conducted at the Environmental Management Agency (EMA), the Ministry of Health and Child Care and the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) laboratories.
We will follow the ministry’s guidance on whether the water is safe to drink or not after the final results are released. We will inform the communities as soon as we have the confirmation to drink it.
</blockquote>
Misi said they are working with the Chimanimani Rural District Council to provide water trucks to the affected community every day.
He added that they intend to drill two additional boreholes for the community as it had water problems even before the accident.

Villagers Warned Against Drinking Water From Poisoned River

The Emergency Service Sub-Committee will meet this Monday to strategise on how to respond to heavy rains and strong winds that are expected in parts of Manicaland, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland West, starting today.
The sub-committee is composed of the Air Force of Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), the Department of Civil Protection (DCP), the Meteorological Services Department (MSD) and other partners.
On Sunday, the MSD warned of heavy rains anticipated up to Thursday emanating from a tropical depression on the Mozambican channel.
Speaking to The Herald yesterday, MSD’s James Ngoma revealed that the tropical depression was gaining strength in the Mozambique channel. Said Ngoma:
<blockquote>
The Tropical Depression is now evolving in the Mozambique Channel and has been gradually intensifying for the past few hours due to the warm waters of the Channel.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, DCP director Nathan Nkomo schools will be used as emergency evacuation centres if the anticipated heavy rains and winds become destructive. He said:
<blockquote>
We have activated structures in Manicaland, Masvingo and some districts in Mashonaland Central and other parts of the country.
Our teams have petty cash for emergency response purposes, and we are also taking advantage of schools that are still closed for emergency evacuation centres.
I am happy to say all those who were living in tents after Cyclone Idai have been relocated to Runyararo formerly West-end farm, a new settlement built to accommodate the victims.
Tomorrow (today) morning we are meeting as the emergency services sub-committee and we will be giving details of the response plan.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia are all threatened by flooding rains this week.

Met Department Forecasts Heavy Rains

Tugwi-Mukosi dam in Masvingo Province spilled for the second time since its commissioning in 2017, raising fears of flooding in downstream areas.
The 1.8 billion cubic metre capacity dam has been receiving constant inflows for the greater part of the current rain season following incessant rains in its catchment that stretches as far as Zvishavane in Midlands Province.
Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) spokesperson Marjorie Munyonga on Sunday said the dam started spilling around 10 AM yesterday.
She said ZINWA alerted other Government departments to be prepared for possible floods in downstream areas. Said Munyonga:
<blockquote>
Communities downstream have been advised to be on high alert. We have also notified relevant arms of Government including the Masvingo Department of Civil Protection (DCP) of this development (spilling).
</blockquote>
Chiredzi Civil Protection Unit (CPU) chair and district development coordinator Lovemore Chisema advised communities to stay away from rivers. He said:
<blockquote>
We urge communities to avoid crossing flooded rivers downstream of the dam(Tugwi-Mukosi) particularly the Runde and Tugwi Rivers which might flood as a result of the spilling. Communities should stay away from rivers together with their livestock.
</blockquote>
Tugwi-Mukosi Dam spilled for the first time in January last year following above normal rains that pounded most parts of the country during the 2020/21 summer season.
The dam, built at a cost of around US$250 million at the confluence of the Tugwi and Mukosi rivers, was commissioned in May 2017.

The Civil Protection Unit (CPU) says it has acquired 18 drones to be used for surveillance and reaching areas affected by natural disasters such as floods countrywide.
The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) has warned that most parts of the country will receive normal to above-normal rainfall during the ongoing 2021/22 rainy season with some of the rainfall events likely to trigger flooding.
Some areas have already started experiencing the destruction of infrastructure such as schools and houses due to hailstorms and thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds.
Speaking during a regional symposium on the impact of climate change on humanitarian issues being hosted by the Government in collaboration with SADC and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Victoria Falls, CPU acting director Nathan Nkomo said there was a need to have drones and warehouses in preparation for disaster. He said:
<blockquote>
I am happy to say that disaster preparedness starts with planning.
… We must have infrastructure like drones and warehouses which supports the ideas we have.
We need drones and luckily we got 18 from a partner and we will eventually use them to collect intelligence in the event that bridges and roads are swept away.
</blockquote>
Nkomo said CPU was currently training its workers on how to use the drones and information technologies associated with the servers and connectivity that will be used.

Efforts to rescue artisanal miners that as of yesterday<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/11/26/30-makorokora-trapped-underground-after-a-mine-shaft-collapsed-in-bindura/"> were trapped underground at Ran Mine in Bindula</a> in Mashonaland Central Province have begun after heavy equipment and mining experts arrived at the scene, the Chronicle reports.
The Mines and Minerals Minister Winston Chitando visited the site yesterday and said the rescuers do not have a timeframe of when they will be able to reach the miners because they first have to assess the site and how best they can carry out the rescue mission.
Speaking after touring the scene with his deputy Polite Kambamura and the Minister of State for Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs and Devolution Senator Monica Mavhunga, Chitando said:
<blockquote>There was a collapse of the shafts late yesterday following a suspected blast of a support pillar because this is a disused shaft and there are some miners who got into the shaft illegally and we suspect that this has probably been happening for a long period of time and once inside they blasted one of the support pillars which is flooded up to knee level and when they blasted that support pillar the roof of the shaft gave in.
What we want to say first and foremost as Government is to encourage all mining activities to be undertaken in accordance with the law, that is the most important thing. All miners should undertake their activities in accordance with the law in a safe manner, that’s the first thing.
The second thing is obviously as government we spoke about the concept of orderly mining around September. We will be reinforcing orderly mining principles as we move on to ensure that there is inspection to try and limit mining activities which are not done in accordance with the provision.</blockquote>
The local Civil Protection Unit is reportedly on the ground liaising with other local miners on how they can help rescue the trapped miners. The shaft collapsed after blasting of one of the pillars in the flooded area which resulted in the roof of the shaft collapsing.

ZRP has launched a manhunt for King David Global Foundation owners after they reportedly lied to President Emmerson Mnangagwa that they were importing 2 million masks as a donation to the government.
The matter came to light in parliament while Civil Protection Unit (CPU) director Nathan Nkomo was giving oral evidence to the Budget and Finance Economic Development Parliamentary portfolio committee yesterday.
Nkomo said The King David Global Foundation had lied to President Mnangagwa and had been issued with a duty-free certificate to import the masks duty-free:
<blockquote>The company lied to the President and it was given a duty-free certificate to bring in the masks. On the day the donation was presented to his Excellency, the directors of the company told us that the consignment was still at Featherstone on its way to Harare. They lied that one of their vehicles had developed a technical fault at Featherstone and you can allow us to declare our donation.
However, after 10 days no delivery had been made to the government-run pharmacy NatPharm. I have since made a report to the Law and Order enforcement agents for investigations on what happened to this donation. It could be criminal but we are yet to find out from the police.</blockquote>

Hailstorms have reportedly destroyed infrastructure and property at some homes and schools in Mutasa and Nyanga, The Herald reports. According to the publication, the storms which started on Tuesday in Odzi blew up the roof of a 2 block classroom at St Francis Matanga Primary School and a part of the roof of the girls’ toilet at the same school was also blown off.
The storms also damaged infrastructure at Regina Coeli school according to Roman Catholic Diocesan education secretary, Mr Lawrence Chibvuri who said:
<blockquote>I received a report that two classrooms were damaged. Part of the roof on one of the classrooms was blown away and there were some structural damages to the office area and the other classroom.
At St Francis, the roof of a two-classroom block was also blown off, but the trusses were not affected. We will need to move swiftly to repair these damages before schools open so that we do not disturb lessons</blockquote>
Roads were reportedly damaged and trees were uprooted by the storm. CPU director, Mr Nathan Nkomo said his office was still to be furnished with finer details of the hailstorm.

Hailstorms Leaves A Trail of Destruction In Nyanga & Mutasa Districts

There is apparent contradiction among government departments over the projected path of Tropical Cyclone Kenneth.
While the Meteorological Services Department (MSD) said that Zimbabwe is not in present danger from the cyclone, as it will only affect Mozambique, Malawi and Tanzania, the Civil Protection Unit (CPU) issued a contradictory statement.
According to the CPU statement, parts of Zimbabwe which include, Gokwe, Mt Darwin, Chimanimani, Chipinge, Masvingo, Mutoko, Mbire, Mzarabani, Nyanga and Mzarabani will be affected by Cyclone Kenneth.
In a statement released earlier on Wednesday, MSD said:
<blockquote>Tropical Storm Kenneth off the main coast of Madagascar is expected to strengthen into a Tropical Cyclone, and if it maintains its present westerly trajectory, it is set to make landfall near the Tanzanian border with Mozambique on Thursday evening (just after 6 pm) 25 April with a circulatory speed of approximately 200 km/hr.
Areas that might be affected by heavy rains till Saturday 27 April are the southern parts of Tanzania, northern provinces of Mozambique and Malawi.
No rain is projected for Zimbabwe during this period till Saturday 27 April; mostly sunny and warm conditions are anticipated as we enter the weekend.
The Department will continue monitoring the conditions and update the nation accordingly.</blockquote>
However, on Thursday morning, the CPU advised the public to brace for possible flooding. It said in a statement:
<blockquote>Another cyclone, Cyclone Kenneth, is projected to hit Mozambique, Malawi and some parts of Zimbabwe has been sighted in the Comoros Island facing this direction. It is projected that the cyclone will be in the region around 18:00 hrs on 25 April 2019.
The trajectory of this impending catastrophe has been given by our early warning units, the Met service department and whose model projections are also supported by those given by SADC.
Drawing huge lessons and experiences from the unprecedented destructive behaviour of the recent Cyclone Idai, all our people mostly those living in the flood-prone areas of Mbire, Muzarabani, Nyanga, Low lying areas of Masvingo province, Chimanimani, Chipinge, Mutoko, Mudzi, Gokwe North, are being advised to be on high alert.
Given this strong and urgent warning, all provincial administrators, district administrators, chief executive officers and town clerks, as well as our traditional leadership structures, are instructed to activate their committees in preparation to respond to the effects of Cyclone Kenneth in the event that it degenerates into a natural calamity.</blockquote>

Cyclone Kenneth: Govt Departments Issue Contradictory Statements

The government is set to relocate residents of Ngangu High-Density suburb who survived Cyclone Idai in Chimanimani.
This was revealed by the Civil Protection Unit (CPU) Manicaland chairperson Edgars Seenza.
Seenza told a delegation of permanent secretaries who were led by the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Misheck Sibanda that 170 of the 1 481 houses were destroyed by the cyclone.
The senior government officials visited Manicaland over the weekend on a tour of affected areas in the province. Said Seenza:
<blockquote>We have identified Nhuka Farm as the possible area to relocate the affected residents in Ngangu; subject to our assessment.
We will now ensure that all buildings will now be 2030 compliant which will be able to withstand natural disasters.</blockquote>
Seenza however, did not clarify how the government will deal with settlements such as Machongwe and Kopa. In the case of Kopa, the settlement is a growth point that suffered more than 90 per cent damage from the cyclone.

Zim Government Responds To Cyclone Ida Emergency

The Civil Protection Unit in Mashonaland West is frantically draining water from two mines that were flooded, trapping 23 miners in the process.
The miners are thought to have died at two different mines in Battlefields. The mine disaster occurred close to midnight.
CPU chairperson for Mashonaland West and Provincial Administrator Cecilia Chitiyo had this to say:
<blockquote>We are appealing to miners with 30 horsepower pumps which can clear 60-100m head to come and assist rescue at Cricket Mine. Some shafts are about 42 m deep but two of these are about 60 to 100m deep.</blockquote>

Speaking during a rural district development committee meeting recently, Bulilima Rural District Council human resources officer, Mr Bongani Ngwenya said out of 31 families from Huwana Ward who had been engaged on relocation and only six showed interest.
Said Ngwenya:
<blockquote>The CPU committee recently conducted a community based risk management training for villagers from Huwana Ward who are located along Manzamnyama River. Of those who attended 31 were affected by floods. Six of them showed interest in being relocated while five others were skeptical and the remaining didn’t want to relocate but they have asked for assistance in repairing their homes. The purpose of the training was to sensitise them on the possible hazards they may face as they are settled in a flood prone area.</blockquote>
Mr Ngwenya said $3, 700 was required to build a homestead for each family that was willing to be relocated. He said the new homesteads will comprise a three roomed house, granary and kitchen hut.

In a joint statement, the Civil Protection Unit and the Meteorological Services Department warned against sensationalist and erroneous messages on social media regarding disasters such as earthquakes.
Part of the statement reads:
<blockquote>Of concern are some messages that have now gone overboard to the extent of misleading the general public such as where and when the next earthquake will take place and that people should sleep outdoors.
While we have no problem with social media, we take exception to those messages that become sensational on matters of life and death.
Accordingly, let us respect the authoritative voice principle which ensures that all official communication on warnings and alerts that are a matter of life and death come from a single source. Too many sources of information may lead to confusion under these circumstances. A recognised or designated authority communiqué enables a person to make informed decisions based on official information. In Zimbabwe, the Meteorological Services Department is responsible for monitoring earthquakes. The general public in the country is urged to check with the department for confirmation and decision making.
It costs nothing to check</blockquote>

The Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has been forced to suspend the relocation of flood victims in Masvingo as most of them are reluctant to leave their ancestral land.
Masvingo Provincial administrator and CPU chairperson in the province, Mr Fungai Mbetsa said:
<blockquote>We are not going to relocate anyone in Masvingo because the families whose homes were damaged by floods are adamant that they want to go back to their homes. Our teams are still on the ground assessing the total cost of damage caused by the floods so that we can come up with the total extent of the damage and the amount of resources required for rebuilding.</blockquote>
According to Mbetsa, every family that was affected by the floods received a tent for temporary accommodation, two 50kg bags of maize and rice enough to last a month.

Speaking to delegates at a Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) and Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) meetingin the capital yesterday, Civil Protection Unit (CPU)’s deputy director Sibusisiwe Ndlovu said that tenants renting homes that were affected by floods in Harare will not be compensated under a government assistance scheme.
She said that lodgers should look for their own accomodation if they were involved in floods stating that the CPU can only supply money for assistance and food items. Ndlovu also said that the CPU will not provide funding for commercial and business loses. However CHRA chairperson objected saying that the idea of compensating only the landlord was unfair as some rent out a place with no landlord.
