A disabled man from Mugabe village under Chief Bota in Zaka is appealing to well-wishers to assist him with materials to build his toilet which collapsed following heavy rains on December 31.
Masikati Mudzingwa said his toilet had been built under a programme initiated by Enhancing Nutrition, Stepping Up Resilience and Enterprise (ENSURE) Zimbabwe sometime around 2015 in such a way that he could relieve himself without the assistance of another person.
“I am appealing to well-wishers who can assist with cement, mesh wire, ventilation pipe and roofing sheets. I am finding it very difficult to access the bush toilet especially during this rain season where it is difficult to make it in the mud with a wheelchair.
“My collapsed toilet was user friendly such that I did not require another person’s help for me to relieve myself since it was especially made to suit my needs,” said Mudzingwa.
Zaka ward 24 Cllr Stella Shambira said Mudzingwa is really in need for assistance to build his toilet which is one of the most essential services a human being requires. His wife takes care of him and they have six children of which three are disabled as well.
“Mudzingwa is greatly in need of a toilet since he now needs another person’s supervision whenever he tries to visit the toilet. He lives with his wife and six children, of which three are disabled.
“He needs a special toilet which can accommodate his condition and any form of assistance is appreciated,” said Shambira.
End of last year TellZim News published a story about Masvingo’s famous poet Abel Mauchi seeking financial assistance to pay for his medical bills.
