Runde District Council Chief Executive Officer Gordon Moyo said the council is working on solutions to deal with the problem.

‘’We want to talk to the illegal miners, already you are calling them gold miners. There are now issues of enforcement now, so that why we are aiming for water to reach the clinic and then we continue to mobilize resources so that we extend that scheme to reach Matenda. That’s the only way we can solve the water problem in ward 2,’’ he said.
