Clean City Brings Affordable, Safe Water To Mabvuku, Epworth and Chitungwiza
Clean City, a part of Cassava Smartech’s Vaya Technologies, has stepped up its efforts to provide safe drinking water by supplying affordable, clean water to Harare’s sprawling suburbs of Mabvuku and Epworth, as well as to Chitungwiza.
These are areas that have experienced water shortages for the past decade due to rapid urban population growth and inadequate rehabilitation and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment plants, among other challenges, resulting in intermittent disease outbreaks such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery.
However, the Cassava Smartech Zimbabwe’s water and waste management unit Clean City, is changing all that by helping keep the communities’ environments clean and safe while transforming lives in meaningful ways. Clean City CEO Mr Lovemore Nyatsine, said the provision of water and sanitation services was part of the group’s efforts in developing sustainable cities which offer good quality of life to various communities.

Mr Nyatsine said the COVID-19 pandemic had also made it essential for the group, whose motto is “Doing well by doing good”, to make available sufficient water points in Mabvuku and Epworth to prevent overcrowding and enable social distancing.
“Through Clean City’s bulk delivery water service, we have made sure that each family can access clean water by offering it in smaller affordable packages of 20litre buckets which costs only ZW$20” he said.
“Our water delivery trucks are available every day in Mabvuku at Kamunhu shopping centre from 9 am to 12pm. There are also available at OK Tafara Shopping centre from 13:00pm to 17:00pm every day. In Epworth they are found at Chiremba and Balancing Rocks from 9:00am to 12:00pm and 13:00 to 17:00pm respectively.”
Reports say over two million people in Harare, Chitungwiza, Epworth, Ruwa, and Norton, have little access to safe drinking water.
This has resulted in thousands of women and children spending eight to nine hours in queues at crowded boreholes or narrow water wells, to fetch water that may not be safe. Over the last three decades, Zimbabwe has experienced a decline in access to clean and safe water. In 1988, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that over 84 percent of Zimbabweans had access to safe drinking water.
From 2000 to 2017, the percentage of people with access to safe water and basic water services had decreased from 72 percent to 64 percent, and basic sanitation decreased from 46 percent to 36 percent.

He said through the company’s franchise business model that provides digital a platform and links firms that collect waste with private truck owners and customers, need employment opportunities to over 5 000 people, both directly and in the downstream opportunities.
