Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Chitungwiza Town Council is poorer than Epworth, Harare Provincial Affairs and Devolution secretary Tafadzwa Muguti, has said.<\/p>\n

Muguti said this when he congratulated the newly-elected councillors of Chitungwiza Town Council on Monday.<\/p>\n

He said the local authority\u2019s mandate was clear, as stipulated in the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the Urban Councils Act Chapter (29:15).<\/p>\n

Muguti challenged the councillors to improve service delivery in the dormitory town where flowing raw sewage has created permanent \u201cstreams\u201d.<\/p>\n

Unlike Epworth, considered by some the poorest residential area in Harare Metropolitan Province, Chitungwiza doesn\u2019t have a single traffic light. Said Muguti:<\/p>\n

Local authorities in Zimbabwe play an important role in promoting sound local governance and undertaking and coordinating urban development to enhance the socio-economic development of Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Chitungwiza Town Council is one of the largest local authorities, but you are the poorest, even Epworth has more money than you. It is time to build a better Chitungwiza.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lovemore Maiko (Cllr Ward 7) bounced back as the Mayor of Chitungwiza and will be deputised by Jerita Mutigwende (Cllr Ward 12). Maiko takes over from Kiven Mutimbanyoka.<\/p>\n
