These problems need serious enforcement of the regulations. The human populace in mining areas is also in danger. #DevTalk
#INVESTIGATION: A cyanide spill in Mazayi River, Maphisa has killed hundreds of fish and exposed thousands to health risks. For locals who depend on this river for water, farming and livestock, this is not just pollution, it is a crisis.

1/3 The invaluable support of @trocaire in Zim has made a remarkable contribution towards cushioning smallscale farmers from the unpredictable El Niño and La Niña effects and supporting Zim's ambitious target of harvesting +/-1.2 million tonnes of traditional grains this season.

More than 1 in 3 children in the hungriest areas of #Sudan face acute malnutrition - above the threshold for famine. Sittna, just 2 years old, is recovering with WFP assistance. The need to support the people of Sudan has never been more urgent.

In our upcoming episode of #DevTalk, our guest Norbert Dube discusses the competition for resources due to multiple global crises and lack of Coordination after @UNOCHA left Zimbabwe in 2014. #DevTalk #Socialchange #Zimbabwe
In a normal season, @WFP would already be halfway through its six month humanitarian response in #Zimbabwe. This year, due to critical funding constraints, we’re helping fewer people for just three months. Many remain in urgent need.
