Bulawayo city council members are catching heat for obsessing over the town clerk's contract while their city falls apart around them. Christopher Dube's deal might get pushed all the way to 2030, even though Mayor David Coltart is against it and residents are pissed that basic services keep getting worse. Local activists are calling the whole thing a circus that should just be handled like any normal employment matter instead of turning into some political drama.
Word on the street is that some CCC guy named Sengezo Tshabangu is threatening to recall councillors who don't back the extension, and apparently, some Harare power players want a piece of the city's big money projects. Deputy mayor Edwin Ndlovu completely flipped his position after first questioning whether the extension was even legal. Residents and watchdog groups are basically saying the council needs to stop playing games and fix the actual problems instead of fighting over one dude's job.
