Comment from the contributor:
From IRIN News --A lack of understanding about cholera and its basic prevention as well as failure to adapt social customs has contributed to the spread of the disease in rural Zimbabwe. Cholera has cut a path across Zimbabwe, killing more than 4,000 people.
“ "We had just returned from the funeral of a relative who died in Harare when the three of us fell ill, suffering from diarrhoea. We had no reason to suspect it was cholera because we were not told the cause of the death of my relative," Mushayakarara told IRIN. ”
