Zim to sell 15 million cubic meters of water to SA

GOVERNMENT announced last Friday that it is stepping up efforts to supply water to the northern parts of South Africa and will initially dispatch about 15 million cubic meters every month despite admitting failure to build a pipeline since 1995.

The pipeline is set to be constructed from Beitbridge’s massive Zhovhe Dam.

 Soon after completion of the construction of Zhovhe Dam almost 28 years ago, the government received US$25 million from Kuwait for a water conduit to supply Beitbridge at the same time feeding irrigation schemes in communal areas.
