Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Harare City Council (HCC) has been criticised for continuing to dump waste near houses in Mbare with residents organisations calling on the local government authority to stop it!<\/p>\n

The Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) says the garbage is creating a serious health hazard to Mbare residents.<\/p>\n

The illegal dumpsite which is located at Corner Chaminuka and Seke Street, Joburg lines opposite Mbare Musika bus terminus has started piling up.<\/p>\n

In July this year, Mbare residents petitioned Harare City Council over the issue but the city fathers ignored the petition.<\/p>\n

CHRA called on the City of Harare to urgently comply with Mbare residents\u2019 request which is in accordance with section 70 (1) of the Environmental Management Act 20:27.<\/p>\n

The cited section states that \u201cNo person shall discharge or dispose of any waste in a manner that causes environmental pollution or ill health to any person.\u201d<\/p>\n

CHRA also cited section 73 of the Zimbabwean Constitution which provides that every citizen has a right to a clean environment.<\/p>\n
