The Local Government Public Works and National Housing Ministry has said all donations related to flooding at Tokwe-Mukosi be directed to its Harare and Masvingo offices.
In a statement yesterday, director of the Civil Protection Unit Mr Madzudzo Pawadyira said all donations in kind and cash should be directed to Masvingo’s provincial administrator at Benjamin Burombo Building on the corner of Simon Mazorodze and Robert Mugabe roads.
Well-wishers can call on 039-262325- /266110/ 263353.
Donations can also go through the CPU director’s office on the seventh floor of Makumbe Building at the corner of Herbert Chitepo Avenue and Leopold Takawira Street in Harare.
The numbers to use are 04-791287 and 04-703715 (fax); and e-mail address [email protected].
Government has appealed for US$20 million to urgently evacuate, relocate, shelter and provide safe water and other basic needs to 60 000 people in the Tokwe-Mukosi Dam flood basin in Chivi, Masvingo.
About 20 000 people within the dam basin are at high risk while another 40 000 downstream are at medium risk of flooding.
Donations in the form of food, clothing, medicine and tents have been pouring in to assist the families after President Mugabe declared flooding in the Tokwe-Mukosi basin and downstream areas a state-of-disaster.
