Figure 2 ZHRC Commissioners observing a homestead which was affected by floods in Butabubili. The family
was using one hut and the two makeshift structures, the donated tent and plastic structure as their bedrooms.
4. Limitations
During the Tsholotsho visit the ZHRC team was supplied with different accounts and
views surrounding the disaster. This was coupled by the deficiency of reliable
sources of material to verify statistics and facts on lost property and affected people.
In most instances, government/local authorities’ employees were sceptical about
revealing information about the disaster.
Furthermore, the community was now tired of just being interviewed, they had an
expectation to be assisted since some visitors had promised to render assistance
that has not materialised to date.
