I have just ridden down to the Umzingwane river from Bulawayo to inspect its flow. Sadly as this video shows there is only a trickle. Our dam watch report released by the The City of Bulawayo yesterday shows that our dams, despite the good rains, are still only sitting... show more

@CityofBulawayo At first glance, I thought you were wearing ZanuPf regalia mayor. I nearly fell from my bed 😆😆😆😆

If it rains in your location we would appreciate your report here: If it does not rain a report would not hurt as well.

We have gone to your meetings , hinted to BCC how things should be done - Council has to approach ZINWA as the main managers of BYO dams during dry season they conduct what we call - Siltation & Sediment Removal in dams , removing excess sand in the dam ,silt, and other debris this will improve Water dam levels intake quicker , also the cleaning of Drainage systems , also building directed water harvesting drainages leading water to our dams. For example - a heavy drainage systems directing all our city drain water systems to flow towards Ncema or any of our Dams as per geographical dam locations surrounding Bulawayo. Sihlezi labadala abase Khansilini abakwazi ukweba amastands kuphela no brainer . The other major issue that l exonerate David Coltart from is the fact that he is a ceremonial Mayor even if we propose all this the last one with Powers is Town Clerk whose corrupt to the chore Mr Chris Dube, Coltart has no executive powers . We need us as Residents to take this matter up if ZINWA cant manage dams let the CITY COUNCIL Manage cause at the end of the day we the masses are affected we have had so so much rains so far but these above are the factors reducing water dam levels intake.

@CityofBulawayo Bulawayo is well led.

@CityofBulawayo You doing the most David. Let us know if you need some technical assistance to make Bulawayo great again.

@CityofBulawayo Very sad news indeed we expected positive results from recent rains,lets keep in prayer when more rains come we shall have better inflows....

@CityofBulawayo Good to see that you striving to keep fit Mr Coltart, and that you are so passionate about Bulawayo.

@CityofBulawayo Mr Coltart I saw a post attributed to you, were you claimed ED has delivered on projects. Did this come from you? If it is you can you clarify how you came to that conclusion

@CityofBulawayo That is a false post. I said no such thing.

@CityofBulawayo You didn't have to go there, @zinwawater has a data and research section that collects such data and should be published. The dam levels and the river flows. The catchment hydrologists for Mzingwane and Gwayi catchments should be advising you of any impending droughts...

@CityofBulawayo David when a nation is led by a man in whom God delights it prospers. The heavens open up and nourish the earth. The ppl lack nothing and go to bed with bellies full. Even the animals rejoice. But when it's ruled by an evil cruel mass murderer, hunger & famine persist!
