ZANZIBAR: ZANZIBAR first Vice-President, Othman Masoud Othman has officially launched a significant water project in Mfenesini Village, reinforcing the government’s commitment to enhancing social services, particularly ensuring the availability of clean and safe water in both urban and rural areas.
The inauguration of the Zanzibar Water Supply System Rehabilitation and Strengthening Project took place in Michungwa Miwili, Mfenesini, located in the Urban West Region of Unguja.
The event coincided with World Water Week celebrations, which this year, carries the theme: “Preserving Natural Vegetation for Water Security.” Mr Othman acknowledged that some areas in Unguja and Pemba still struggle to access clean and safe water.
However, he assured the public that the government was making significant strides through various projects to address the challenge.
The first Vice-President stressed the importance of environment conservation in ensuring groundwater security, drawing an example of ‘proper animal care for a steady milk supply.’
He added: “It is the responsibility of every individual, along with the Zanzibar Water Authority (ZAWA), to support environment conservation efforts and prioritise the protection of natural vegetation to guarantee water security.
Moreover, Mr Othman called on ZAWA to address internal inefficiencies before tackling external threats, urging the enforcement of stricter measures to prevent deliberate damage of water infrastructure.
