MUIRHEAD`S MYSTERIES:MERMAIDS DELAY RESERVOIR PROJECTS IN ZIMBABWE
The Metro newspaper published the following story in its edition of February 7th 2012:
Mermaids halting reservoir projects
Terrified workers have refused to finish building two new reservoirs because they claim they are being menaced by mermaids. The long overdue projects are essential if Zimbabwe is to revive its failing agriculture sector but the men refuse to return to the sites near the towns of Gokwe and Mutare. `All the officers I have sent have vowed not to go back there`, said water resources minister Samuel Nkomo. `We even hired whites thinking that our boys did not want to work but they also returned ,` he added. The only way to solve the problem is to brew traditional beer and carry out rites to appease the spirits.`, he said (1)

P.S There is a video from 1999 titled Mermaid Pools in Zimbabwe but I don`t know if there is a connection to the story above
