The City of Masvingo has finally moved in to address the problem of critical social services that were lacking in the past especially the construction of a more functional sewer system for the Garikai housing settlement.

Media Centre produced and published a video report that documented the plight of this marginalized community in Masvingo urban. Residents in the community were shown in the video report expressing their dismay for the inhumane conditions that the local authorities were subjecting them to through the absence of proper ablution facilities.

Watch the video report here.

Civil works are currently underway to layout the requisite infrastructure.

For the past 16 years, the Garikai community has been living without social services that other suburbs in Masvingo are enjoying.
