Aid Workers Struggle to Stop Cholera Spreading
by Chipo Sithole, IWPR, Zimbabwe - Shamiso Mushonga, eight months pregnant with her third child, feels like a prisoner in the two-room shack she shares with her other two children in densely populated Budiriro.

She has not left her cramped quarters for the past four days, only going to the market with her children firmly in tow.
