The Government of Zimbabwe has threatened to fine people who own boreholes that are not registered with the Zimbabwe National Water Authority in Upper Gwayi Sub-Catchment area in Matabeleland North province. In a notice dated September 12, the Upper Gwayi Sub Catchment Council advised borehole owners on the requirements for registering boreholes and wells. “Every visit to your property will attract a non-compliance fee of US$150, if you fail to respond within the stipulated days. Consider this your first visit,” the notice reads.
