Council accused of failing to fulfil its promises

Harare City Council has come under fire for failing to fulfil most of the promises it made to residents.

Harare Residents Trust said the Harare Mayor and ward councillor,Bernard Manyenyeni held a meeting with Mt Pleseant residents on 10 December 2015.

"Residents raised concerns on road maintenance and street lighting. The Mayor suggested that the residents should either contribute towards street lighting or wait for the council to carry out that exercise, whose time frame is not yet known," said the trust.

"The question comes now which the HRT will keep on asking since when and up to when will the time frame end?. When will the city fathers wake up and address residents' concerns?. Residents what are your view on the council's unknown time frame of providing services we pay for?."
