As Gweru gears up for the festive season, local business owners are optimistic about a significant uptick in turnovers, spurred by heightened consumer demand. However, this positive outlook is met with a sobering challenge in the form of a cholera outbreak.
While the anticipation of increased business activity during this celebratory period is palpable, concerns linger about the impact of the cholera outbreak on consumer behavior. In conversations with Gweru business proprietors, apprehensions were voiced regarding potential customer hesitancy to dine out in town due to cholera-related anxieties.
Despite these reservations, business leaders assert a firm commitment to maintaining impeccable hygiene standards. They pledge to not only uphold existing rigorous protocols but also undertake additional measures.
These efforts include ensuring the availability of essential sanitizing chemicals for thorough handwashing, aiming to reassure patrons about their safety.
