Bulawayo residents are getting absolutely wrecked by the taxman over unpaid bills. The City of Bulawayo unleashed more than sixteen thousand debt notices across every ward to claw back over fourteen million United States dollars in overdue service charges. These papers range from final demands to disconnection warnings for houses in both high-density and low-density suburbs.
Ward Six in Cowdray Park faces the heaviest financial blow because officials want to recover over four million bucks from just nine hundred thirty-one disconnection threats. Ward Eight in Mzilikazi saw the highest volume of spam, with nearly three thousand residents receiving alerts to pay roughly one point five million dollars.
The administration targeted Ward Five using emails or phone calls to chase almost four million dollars. Ward Three in Mahatshula got hit with over a thousand twenty-four-hour warnings plus nine hundred twenty disconnection orders as the municipality tries to secure just over one million in that area alone.
Nkulumane residents in Ward Twenty received nearly thirteen hundred disconnection threats regarding seven hundred fifty-four thousand dollars. Ward Twenty-five in Nketa saw over eleven hundred similar warnings targeting six hundred fifty-six thousand, while Ward Eleven in Emakhandeni faces pressure to settle almost six hundred thousand dollars in arrears.
Ward Thirteen in Tshabalala has huge debts with combined notices seeking over one million dollars. City Centre businesses in Ward One received sixty-six demands for nearly two hundred thousand. Officials claim this aggressive campaign remains necessary to fund basic stuff like water provision or road maintenance.
