Abstract:	Zimbabwe's catastrophic cholera outbreak of 2008/09 resulted in an unprecedented 100,000 cases and nearly 5000 deaths. In the aftermath of the epidemic, questions of suffering and death and of rescue, relief, and rehabilitation have persisted in on-going processes of meaning-making through which people come to terms with the epidemic as a 'man-made' disaster.
