Zimbabwean civil society organisations have accused the government of violating citizens’ rights following the outbreak of typhoid affecting hundreds of people.
More than 800 cases of the water borne disease have been recorded this year in some high density areas of the capital city, Harare.
The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) and Community Water Alliance (CWA) expressed dismay. CWA and ZLHR reported that over the years, they had repeatedly highlighted the key drivers of the outbreak of typhoid and other waterborne diseases to government.
