Said Khumalo:<\/p>\n<p>It is bad that Chitungwiza municipality has continued making negative headlines, especially on issues involving the alleged corrupt allocation and management of land and abusing the disposal of public assets.<\/p>\n<p>It is even worse in this instance that this recent alleged case involves \u201ca man of the cloth\u201d Prophet Uebert Angel.<\/p>\n<p>Recently we saw Uebert Angel featuring prominently in another alleged scandal dubbed, the Gold Mafia.<\/p>\n<p>As residents, we wonder what the \u201cman of God\u201d through his company can offer to a struggling municipality like Chitungwiza other than swindling it of its diminishing land.<\/p>\n<p>We urge the council not to pursue these self-serving corrupt deals that are meant to benefit a few connected elites hiding behind religious robes at the expense of millions of residents and ratepayers as well as the quality of service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Angel was exposed by Aljazeera investigative journalists at the centre of a money laundering racket, but the preacher claimed that he was merely acting.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, an official at the Chitungwiza municipality was reported as saying concern over the proposal is premature as the councillors have not made a decision yet. Said the official:<\/p>\n<p>When a company or an institution comes to express interest, a council meeting is called the company presents.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the duty of the council to find out whose company has expressed interest as it would be discriminatory based on political lines.<\/p>\n<p>When a company expresses interest the idea can be adopted or rejected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
