Zimbabwe Receives Aid for Water Infrastructure Upgrade

Zimbabwe has received a $30m grant from the African Development Bank to rehabilitate the water and sanitation systems in six towns and cities around the country.

The upgrade work will improve the ageing water infrastructure in Harare, Masvingo, Mutare, Chegutu, Kwekwe and Chitungwiza, benefiting more than four million people.

Zimbabwean minister of finance Tendai Biti said the project is a major step to improve the restoration of basic services in the nation, reports the thezimbabwean.co.uk.
