Harare to blacklist rates defaulters

Harare City Council is contemplating blacklisting government departments and residents, who re not paying rates on time.

This comes as HCC is owed $2 273 738 420 with the industrial and commercial clients sitting on a huge debt of $1 255 828 875 while the government is on a debt of $63 643 469.

The local authority claims its failure to adequately provide service delivery to residents is due to this delinquent behaviour by ratepayers.
