Kariba: There were shockwaves sent through the community in the Kariba area yesterday when it emerged a sewage pipe has been broken down for several weeks and is flowing straight into the lake.
The leak is at Nyamasura where the pipe line crosses the main Kariba road.
It was reported that the town council have been aware of the leak for several days with nothing being done.
While a comment could not obtained from the council at the time of writing a community advocacy was launched with people complaining about the mishap.
“All people using Lake water east and west of the sewerage works, south of the power lines outside Nyamunga, are advised to be aware that the effluent pump that pumps effluent to the Nyamasura via a pipe line that crosses the main Kariba rd has broken down and has been for some time(trouble started over a month ago. Effluent is now going straight into the lake),wrote one Cavan Warren.
“Surely the least we could have expected from the relevant authorities was a public warning and some assurance on the health aspect of this distasteful discharge into the lake,” he said.
Lake Kariba is one of Zimbabwe’s top tourist destinations.

negomo you are so naïve and stupid, how can you say that.
Negomo u are lost these days environmental issues are regarded highly. Sustainable environmental management is used as an economic development indicator. Sewer water has its rightful place not a public water body like Kariba dam.

It’s a pity we have foolish people like Negomo in this country, who don’t mind drinking sewage!!
A pipe does not flow, the contents of a pipe may flow if pumped !
Negomo negomo negomo what are you trying to say ? Are you saying if you are sharing a mug of opaque beer with a friend and mucus from your drinking mate falls into the mug it does not matter because the quantity of mucus is too small to contaminate the beer. Tikwanirewo. Kariba council serve the people you were employed to serve.

Arrest the councilors responsible and kick them out of office.
Negomo not everyone prefers to live and eat in a slum like you… this water is now a health hazard to all the people who consume that water since we “treat” water here in Zimbabwe… I can see you don’t know anything about water… simple Grade 7 stuff..
