Prominent lawyer Doug Coltart, a leading figure in the campaign to preserve Harare’s dwindling wetlands amid a surge in construction across the ecologically sensitive and biodiverse areas, has shared a broader vision for the city: a network of wetland parks connecting communities.He has also urged residents to join the fight to preserve wetlands. The parks would ensure that residents, whether living in high-density or low-density suburbs, have access to beautiful green spaces while helping to safeguard the city’s water security. Harare’s wetlands are vital natural water reservoirs. They absorb rainfall, replenish underground aquifers and sustain rivers and streams that feed into Lake Chivero. They also filter pollutants, reduce flooding, support biodiversity and regulate the climate. Protecting these wetlands is essential to securing Harare’s future water supply, strengthening climate resilience and ensuring sustainable development for generations to come. @DougColtart @bbmhlanga @ZELO_Infor @ZLHRLawyers @DavidColtart @Harare_Wetlands Watch the five-minute video below; youtu.be/u8hF0p3qMpM? youtu.be/u8hF0p3qMpM

Transparency International Zimbabwe congratulates Kudakwashe Pembere on winning the Best Medicines Safety Journalist Award for a story commissioned under the Strengthening Anti-Corruption Frameworks for Responsive and Accountable Governance in Zimbabwe (SAFRAG) project with the support from Sweden The award highlights the power of journalism to inform the public, protect public health and promote accountability. Investigative reporting also plays a critical role in exposing illicit financial flows, tracing funds lost through corruption and uncovering the misuse of public resources. By following the money and exposing wrongdoing, journalists help strengthen transparency and hold those responsible to account.
