The 2022–2024 Southern Africa cholera outbreak is an outbreak that has spread across Southern Africa.[2][3] It started in Machinga District in Malawi in March 2022.[4] The cholera outbreak in Malawi linked to cases in South Africa, the strains belong to the seventh cholera pandemic. Rather than being a resurgence of a previously circulating strain in Africa, these cases likely resulted from the introduction of a new cholera agent from South Asia into Africa.[5]

Timeline

In March 2022, Malawi recorded its first cases of cholera.[4]

In January 2024, it was reported that around 300 people had died following a cholera outbreak in Zambia.[6]
