Two cases of cholera have now been confirmed in Limpopo. Both patients are Zimbabwean migrant workers who returned home to Zimbabwe and then came back to the Blouberg municipality area where they live and work. This year Zimbabwe has been battling its worst outbreak of cholera in a decade. 4000 people died in the last outbreak in 2008 so the country has been anxious about the latest cases. 50 people died of the disease earlier this year and authorities thought the outbreak was under control. But now more than 20 people have been infected in a town near the border with Mozambique. To discuss we're joined on the line by the MEC for Health in Limpopo, Dr Phophi Ramathuba.
