Disaster area

South African officials have declared the border with Zimbabwe a disaster area as a result of a cholera epidemic that has killed nearly 800 people, a provincial government spokesman said yesterday.

"The whole of the Vhembe district has been declared a disaster," Mogale Nchabeleng, a spokesman for the Limpopo provincial government, told Reuters. The provincial government took the decision after an emergency meeting earlier this week.
