Water flooded a Harare neighborhood after a council pipe burst several weeks ago. The pipe broke again on April 6, causing streets to fill with water throughout parts of Kensington and Avondale. Local people called authorities repeatedly but received almost no help with their problem.
One resident who spoke anonymously through Crime Watch Zimbabwe said officials rarely answered their calls. When someone finally did answer, they asked for $20 in fuel money but never showed up to fix anything. The flooding happened at the intersection of Stidolph Crescent and McLaughlin Road.
Videos show the serious flooding that continues to worsen as days pass. People living nearby worry about health risks from all the standing water. The council has not explained why repairs remain undone after such a long time. Community members demand quick action to stop the flooding before it creates more serious issues for everyone involved.
The neighborhood continues waiting for any sign that officials plan to address their concerns. Local activists have joined residents in pushing for immediate repairs to prevent further damage to the area.
