MDC-T launches own blueprint

The main opposition MDC-T yesterday launched a local governance blueprint to guide its councilors leading various local authorities across the country.

The blueprint titled Smart City Campaign was launched in Harare by MDC-T secretary for local government Eddie Cross, who said the document would address the ever-worsening challenges of poor service delivery.

Cross said the blueprint also addressed issues of labour costs, improvement of urban infrastructure, urban expansion, and establishment of ward development centres and ward offices for councilors, formalization of the informal housing co-operatives and businesses, as well as establishment of a vibrant water management system.
