OCTOBER 2022
Food and Water Security
During October, ZPP recorded 4 cases of violation of access to food and
water in Mudzi North, Chivi North and Goromonzi South.
On 14 October in Chijaka Village 10 in Mudzi North near Nyamuyaruka
Business Centre, a Zanu PF-aligned village head Douglas Masamba violated
villagers' right to clean portable borehole water by personalising a local
community borehole. Musamba removes the borehole handle and replaces it
when he wants to fetch water. In Chivi North, on 25 October, in Ward 6,
Maramba village, a CCC supporter was denied food aid by Admire Chamisa,
the Maramba village Chikusa head.
The right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a human right
that is essential for the full enjoyment of life and all human rights. It entitles
everyone to access sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible, and
affordable water for personal and domestic use. In 2015, the United Nations,
of which Zimbabwe is a state member, adopted the Sustainable Development
Goals, which are a universal call to improve the lives and prospects of
everyone everywhere. SDGs 2 and 6 are about all institutions committed to
achieving food security and ensuring availability and sustainable
management of water, respectively.
