Zimbabwe's Capital Signs Deal for Better Water Supply.
Harare struck a big deal yesterday to fix its water problems. The city will get a new water plant and smart meters to better serve its people.
Four groups joined hands in this plan. The city council, two companies, and Zimbabwe's local government all signed up to help. They met in Harare to make it official.
"People need water," said Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe. We heard their calls, and we're taking action." He shared that President Mnangagwa wants top services for everyone by 2030.
Garwe had good news about costs. The new tech might seem scary to some who fear higher bills. But he said it should make water cheaper and better for all.
Mayor Jacob Mafume knows his city needs friends to grow strong. He pointed to other African success stories like Kigali and New Cairo. These cities got better when everyone worked as one team.
The tech comes from Hangzhou Laison, a company ready to show what smart water systems can do. Their deputy boss, Clark Dai, wants to make Harare shine. He says their work could lead the way for all of southern Africa.
Helcraw Electrical brings more muscle to the team. Their leader, Brendon Jere, promised a complete fix - from cleaning water to billing homes. They want every tap in Harare to flow with clean water.
This team effort marks a fresh start for Harare's water supply. If it works, other cities might copy their plan to help their people get clean water at home.
