Construction on the new Beitbridge hotel, set to accommodate football fans during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, has been halted, with seven artisans working on the building's construction being struck down with cholera.

The area has been one of hardest hit by the deadly cholera outbreak
that officially has claimed more than 1000 lives. The life-threatening
water-borne disease eventually hit the labour camp of Costain Zimbabwe,
the main contractors on the luxury hotel, and, with seven workers
already infected, the site was shut and the remaining craftsmen sent
home early for Christmas.
