Nkulumane residents have stated that BCC should, as part of its budget priorities, consider procuring pesticides. The suburb has a number of streams that are known to be breeding ground for parasites. Residents have therefore appealed to the city council to see to the provision of pesticides before the rainy season begins. Residents have said that this is not the season for cutting grass but the only option available to curb the challenge facing them is to spray well in time before mosquitos and other such parasites infest residential areas. BPRA ward secretaries for health have previously conducted clean up campaigns in the city and in some instances paid particular attention to specific worst affected areas. Considering the importance of maintaining cleanliness and avoiding health hazards, residents have said that they will dedicate their time to spraying worst affected areas if the municipality or other willing organisations provide the necessary equipment and pesticides. It is on record that residents have volunteered to work with various organisations, like as BPRA, Zimbabwe Democracy and Development Trust (ZDDT) and World Vision to name a few, for the betterment of the community.
