Court orders Harare City Council to restore water to elderly residents
Headline and summary by local AI
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) secured a court order requiring the Harare City Council to restore water services to elderly residents in Old Marimba Park.
Lawyers Dzimbabwe Chimbga and Jeremiah Bamu filed the public interest case in December 2014 on behalf of 95-year-old Gogo Leorcadia Sagwete and other neighbors. The residents lived without municipal water for more than seven months. The court's decision addresses the difficulties older people face when local authorities fail to provide basic services.
