The Government's rigorous measures against cholera have gained significant appreciation from Highfield residents.

Sarah Chikwenga, a resident of Highfield, commented on the recent Government initiative, "The door-to-door campaign by health experts is a proactive measure. They have demonstrated how small changes in daily habits can significantly reduce the risk of cholera. This initiative not only benefits individual households but bolsters the health of the entire community."

Parallel to this, an extensive educational program has been launched. Aimed at the grassroots level, the program imparts knowledge about cholera symptoms and emphasizes the importance of immediate medical attention.

Tendai Chirodza, another local, stated, "The Government's drive to educate about cholera is timely. Before this, many of us were uncertain about how to react during outbreaks. This educational initiative provides clarity and a sense of direction."

In a strategic move to ensure consistent access to clean water, the Government, under the banner of the Second Republic's Emergency Road Rehabilitation Program 2, is advancing with the installation of boreholes in Highfield. This project is anticipated to diminish the dependency on unprotected water sources, known cholera hotspots.

Commenting on the borehole project, Jeremiah Dube, who previously relied on unclean water sources, said, "The borehole installation initiative is a significant advancement. Access to clean water is essential, and this project is a definitive step toward cholera prevention."

Highfield, known for its bustling streets and vibrant community, had been in the throes of cholera outbreaks in the past.

 Recognizing the severity, the Government swiftly introduced a comprehensive strategy to curb the spread of the disease.

With these concurrent measures, the Government aims for a systematic reduction in cholera cases in Highfield.
