Mutare: A local Old People's home located is struggling to make ends meet during the lockdown period as donor support has dried up.
Zororo Old People's Home in the oldest high-density suburb of Sakubva houses over 14 elderly people who rely on support from various donors across the city.
However, since the announcement of the country's lockdown by government to curb the spread of Covid-19, the home has been facing myriad challenges, chief among them dwindling food stocks and funds to procure medication for inmates.
Mutare Ward 1 Councillor Thomas Nyamupanedengu confirmed the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on the operations of the Old People's Home.
Normally, the home is supported by local donors but due to the lockdown, most businesses were affected," said the councillor.
