Bedbugs Run Riot in Mbare as Locals Block Pest Teams

The government says some residents block bedbug control efforts. The pests have spread across the capital, starting in Mbare, one of its oldest areas. Critics blame officials for failing to manage national matters properly. Nick Mangwana from the Information Ministry points to uncooperative homeowners as the real problem. Health teams face resistance when they try to treat homes.

A small group of people refuse to let pest control workers into their houses. Government officials wonder what causes this resistance to treatment programs. The bedbug problem, locally known as tsikidzi, continues despite attempts to solve it. Officials need community support to fix the issue completely. These tiny pests create major headaches for both residents and authorities trying to eliminate them.
