HARARE, May 6 (Xinhua) -- The following are news highlights in Zimbabwe's major media outlets on Monday.
-- The Zimbabwean government on Sunday gave National Pharmaceutical Company (NatPharm) directors a one-week ultimatum to disburse to various health institutions across the country medicine stockpiled at the firm's Harare warehouse or risk losing their jobs.
The ultimatum followed a fact-finding visit last week by First Lady Cde Auxillia Mnangagwa where she slammed NatPharm for withholding medicines at a time when patients were failing to access drugs. (The Herald)
-- Zimbabwe's First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa on Saturday stood up scores of Beitbridge civil servants and her ruling ZANU-PF party supporters gathered for what has become a traditional national clean-up exercise recently launched by her husband, President Emmerson Mnangagwa. (NewsDay)
-- Gweru Urban legislator Brian Dube (MDC Alliance) has urged the government to swiftly avail funds for de-siltation of the city's largest water source, Gwenoro Dam, as well as facilitate construction of alternative sources of water.
