Villagers drink from Shashe River in water crisis

FRANCISTOWN: Chadibe, Shashemooke and Borolong residents have been forced to drink the murky waters of Shashe River after the taps in their villages ran dry on Tuesday.

Chadibe village headman Aaron Nyambe said in the past two days people have been forced to fetch water from the river for their needs.

You can imagine what the situation would be like," Nyambe said.
