The article discusses the collaboration between the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) to improve water supply at the Chikurubi Prison Complex in Zimbabwe. The ICRC donated a water tank in 2009 and helped drill boreholes, while ZPCS constructed pump houses and laid pipes. The project, which began in 2012, was completed in 2015 and now provides water for drinking and personal hygiene to inmates, prison officers, and their families, benefiting over 10,000 people. Despite the progress, issues such as power cuts can still disrupt the water supply. Inmates expressed gratitude for the improved access to water, which has significantly improved their daily lives.

Power Cuts Are Plaguing Southern Africa. The Region Needs Renewable Energy.

English
| Corruption
Southern Africa is experiencing severe power shortages due to underinvestment in the energy sector, aging infrastructure, and corruption. Zimbabwe faces up to 18 hours of daily load shedding, relying heavily on expensive power imports. Despite abundant renewable energy resources, the country has not made significant investments in this area. South Africa also struggles with power cuts, primarily due to its reliance on aging coal plants and delayed projects. Both countries need to diversify their energy mix and attract private investment to harness renewable energy sources. The region's energy crisis presents significant opportunities for investment and development in renewable energy.

| Drought
Zambia is set to shut down its hydropower plant on Lake Kariba due to critically low water levels caused by climate change-induced droughts. The lake, shared with Zimbabwe, has seen its live water storage drop to just 8%, leading to severe energy shortages in both countries. Zambia's power deficit is projected to increase, prompting the country to explore diversifying its energy mix, including plans for a new coal power plant. Experts emphasize the need for renewable energy to ensure a reliable power supply, especially for Zambia's copper mines. The situation highlights the broader impact of climate change on energy and water resources in southern Africa.
