Harare City Council accused of negligently causing deaths

Harare City Council has been accused of negligently causing deaths through digging of pits which are left open.

Harare Residents Trust said this is the second time that it has received  reports of death being caused by the negligence of the Harare City Council.

"There is a pit that was dug by the City Council in Mufakose, Dindingwe  when they were laying water pipes," said the trust. "A resident fell in the
pit and died. The Harare City Council should make sure that when they  complete their projects they should fill up the pits and level the surface.
How will they be able to compensate one's life?"
