Econet has failed to deliver 500 houses it promised Cyclone
Idai victims in Chimanimani. Some 214 families
are still living in tents and they are not happy.
A senior Government official told The Masvingo Mirror said that
government funds earmarked for the houses had been diverted to the construction
of roads following the pledge by Econet.
Edgars Sevenza, Manicaland Provincial Development
Coordinator said that Government has since secured prefab timber for
construction of the houses and families will therefore be moved this month.
There are four camp sites for Cyclone Idai victims; Garikai
with 83 households, Nyamatanda 30 and Arboretum 58. The fourth is Kopa settlement
with 43 but it is informal and does not get support from partners.
