A villager from Rashai Village, Makore ward 12 told New Zimbabwe.com that they are now walking seven kilometres to the nearest waterhole. Said Munyuki: > We now have to accept that there is a drought this year. All rivers have dried up and our maize fields and cotton fields have also been scorched. I really don’t think a farmer this side will be able to harvest even a bale of cotton the situation is very bad I tell you.
