Zimbabwe: Muchinguri Speaks On Dams

9 October 2017

There is need to rehabilitate dams in the Midlands province in order to support the command fisheries programme, Environment, Water and Climate Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri has said. This comes as the Zimbabwe National Water Authority has identified 37 sites for new water weirs, 67 breached dams and 34 dams to be de-silted across the Midlands province. Speaking at the launch of the command fisheries project at Insukamini Dam in Lower Gweru last week, Minister Muchinguri-Kashiri challenged the Zinwa to speed up the process of rehabilitating infrastructure at various dams identified for the command fisheries programme.

"I would like to urge Zinwa to take immediate action to restore damaged infrastructure at all water bodies in the province so that communities can fully participate in the command fisheries programme," she said.
