A diarrhoea outbreak that has hit hundreds of people in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare, is being attributed to a combination of factors, including a failure by the local city authority to provide clean water and collect refuse in residential areas.
Harare's director of health services, Stanley Mungofa, told journalists during a recent tour of Mabvuku and Tafara, two of the capital's low-income suburbs hardest hit, that more than 400 cases had been reported in these areas.
