Breeding Ground for Mosquitos

This is part of the Malaria education programme at Simatetele primary school. One of the masters is showing us the overflow from the school's water pump which is a breeding ground for the mosquito larvae.

Children from the school wear protective clothing to spray these swampy areas. ( Save the children supply the clothing & insecticide )

Malaria is particularly bad this year (2000) due to well above average rainfall & the cyclone from Mozambique which faded out over N. Zimbabwe & Zambia.
