| For residents in the poorer areas of Zimbabwe's second-biggest city, traveling miles to collect water from a community borehole has become a part of life. Bulawayo has for years struggled with a water shortage and now, as the region suffers its worst drought in decades, the city's tap is due to run dry by the end of this year. It's not just the climate; a lack of investment has led to empty reservoirs and abandoned efforts to build a new dam. The crisis is also emblematic of the neglect Bulawayo has suffered since Zimbabwe's independence from the UK in 1980, which has left the city with little help from the central government, Ray Ndlovu reports.
