Harare City Council faces major criticism for planning to spend $100,000 on an 18-seater kombi. Citizens expressed anger after the council published a newspaper notice requesting permission to borrow over $21 million for various projects, including this expensive vehicle purchase. Many residents believe this shows poor judgment from city leaders who manage limited resources.
The controversy grows because the city already pays massive salaries to leadership. Reports indicate the suspended Town Clerk Engineer Hosiah Chisango receives $27,000 monthly despite not working. Acting Engineer Mabhena Moyo earns $26,000 per month, creating a combined expense of $53,000 for a single position at city hall.
Residents questioned what benefits they...

ZBC licensing manager Wisdom Samanyai explained to the committees that the proposed changes simply strengthen existing laws. Many drivers claim they removed their radios to avoid paying fees. Others just ignore the requirement completely, either...
