Mtshabezi water finally in city

PUMPING of water from Mtshabezi Dam to Bulawayo has finally started.

The city had been desperately banking on the dam following reports that a third supply dam, Lower Ncema, could be decommissioned before Christmas.

Without Mtshabezi water, the city was likely to increase the water shedding period from the present four days every week, to six.

The breakthrough occurred on Saturday after a Harare-based company, AC Controls, which was contracted by the State Procurement Board to electrify the Mtshabezi Dam project was fired on Wednesday for “gross incompetence” and allegedly sabotaging the venture.

Confirming the development yesterday, the Minister of Water Resources Management and Development, Dr Samuel Sipepa Nkomo said new engineers moved on site on Friday and did in one day what AC Controls had failed to do in more than two months.
