Zimbabwe Launches National Clean Up Campaign
Harare, 03 September 2009 -- The acting President, Cde Joyce Mujuru today officially launched the national clean up campaign at her Munhumutapa offices in Harare. The campaign, which is the brainchild of the Social Mobilization taskforce of the Cholera Command and Control Centre (C4), is part of the many on-going cholera awareness campaigns ahead of the cholera season.
In her statement, Cde Mujuru lamented the loss of lives due to cholera and thanked the NGO community and the UN family for their support to the Government of Zimbabwe. She said the launch is a one off event but the clean up efforts should become part of life for everybody. “Zimbabweans are hard working people and cleaning up should not be too difficult for them, if we all come together to clean up our environments then no lives will be lost to cholera again” said Cde Mujuru before she led the group in cleaning the sanitary lane along 3rd street.
