Alert – BPRA Weekend Activities (6 & 7 October 2012)

Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association (BPRA) will on Saturday this weekend (6 October 2012) be holding two consultative meetings at Lobengula Hall in Ward 14 and Inzwananzi Primary School in Gwabalanda (ward 16) to discuss the water situation in Bulawayo. The meetings will provide residents in the areas with an opportunity to discuss their views on the water crisis with their councillors and BPRA representatives. BPRA is engaged in a campaign on the water crisis that is meant to ensure that residents are aware of the graveness of the water crisis in Bulawayo and act to conserve water. The campaign also aims at pressuring BCC and the government to act to solve the water crisis and prevent outbreak of diseases such as cholera and typhoid, while acting as a conduit for the airing of the views of residents on the issue. The campaign includes monitoring of the water situation in the city and its effects on the lives of residents, and dissemination of information to residents on the gravity of the situation
