On Friday, police had to whisk Minister of Water and Sanitation Senzo Mchunu away from an angry crowd in Musina.
Mchunu had come to engage with the community about water outages. But some believed the minister's visit was merely electioneering. Resident Nora Ndlovu accused the minister of this and the crowd ululated in support. Mchunu denied the accusation. The meeting was declared closed, but the residents were not satisfied.
Mchunu, who was present for about two hours before he was whisked away, apologised to the residents about the lack of progress. He said three new dams will be built, two between Musina and Makhado, another on the Mutale River.
