Speaking at a press conference held at his Kaguvi offices last week, Madzorera said the city council was taking time to remove garbage from most government offices.
“take photos here at Kaguvi, you will see the sense of what I am talking about. there is garbage that has not been collected for weeks now and those are some of the causes of epidemic diseases,” Madzorera said.
Madzorera was giving an update on epidemic diseases such as typhoid and cholera.
“As we are approaching the festive season, where a lot of movements are involved, people have to take care of the fruits they eat and avoid eating contaminated food,” he said.
He said his ministry would introduce a new drug to curb diarrhoea.
“We have a drug called rota-virus vaccine, a new drug which will be administered to children under the age of five to fight diarrhoea,” said Madzorera.
