Original text

Selon le Bourgmestre de Kavimvira, l’eau de la REGIDESO ne coule plus aux robinets de la commune depuis plus de deux ans, à cause des inondations liées à la montée du lac Tanganyika et du marais de Nyangara. Les habitants boivent et se lavent avec l’eau du marais et du lac, ce qui les expose aux maladies.
