Maria Saungweme, 42, an informal trader and single mother from the low-income suburb of Glen Norah in the Zimbabwean capital Harare, uses sewage-infested river water to irrigate her two-acre vegetable plot.

the goverment should do something about sewage flows in most areas of
zimbabwe.honestly it is unhealthy.i do not blame this woman because you
find out that is the is water for days so they turn to sewage to water
gardens as it their source of income
This is just a question of image but there is nothing wrong with vegetables
grown from sewage water.
Many times we had added fertilizer, manure from cow dung or animal
excrement and have comfortably ate the vegetables grown from that.
Psychologically we are just uncomfortable with the fact that human manure
could produce the same good results.
Nature has always recycled natural waste. I commend you Saungweme for
giving us a new vision on what it means to recycle.... Keep up the good
work
If I had a penny for every person that died from drinking water that their
eyes told them was safe, I'd have more money than the World Bank. It's not
much safer eating vegetables watered with sewage; the USA undergoes an
e.coli panic every few months from "natural" (read: unmonitored by the
government) farms using tainted water on their crops.
