He was speaking on the sidelines of the Development of National Environment Plan meeting held in Kwekwe recently. He said:

> We have the problem of water pollution in the district. If one is to look at Sebakwe River, for instance, one will realise that there are serious water pollution challenges in the river.

> We have sewage and effluent discharges from mining operations polluting the water. This indeed is a serious cause for concern.

The pollution of the Sebakwe River poses a danger to farmers downstream who rely on the river for water for domestic use and for their livestock.

Recently, a community borehole in Munyati was poisoned by unknown people. Magombedze said the matter is under investigation. | NewZimbabwe.com
