Abstract

Abstract This chapter observes that the construction of the Tokwe-Mukosi dam in Chivi district was an honourable idea, as it aimed to promote sustainable development, but its effort was jeopardized by the unexpected human rights violation that erupted thereafter. The chapter examines the socio-economic quagmire in Zimbabwe exacerbated by the Tokwe-Mukosi flood disaster on 4 February 2014, as well as the political crisis it generated. Also discussed is the role of religious and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society in addressing the disaster.
