A cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe is suspected of killing more than 150 people and infecting more than 8,000
Cholera has often broken out across Zimbabwe in recent years with deadly consequences and has surged and spread again over the last month, driven by the sometimes terrible sanitation conditions in poor, neglected townships and neighborhoods in the capital, Harare, and elsewhere.
