Gweru City Council bought a minibus and three service vehicles for US$165,000 to help them work better. Owen Ncube from Midlands Provincial Affairs led the ceremony at Gweru Fire Station last week, with many local leaders watching. The council wants to make life better for everyone who lives there with these new trucks. As part of their city improvement plan, they plan to fix problems faster and serve people better. Mayor Martin Chivhoko sees this as a step toward making Gweru a smart city.
The vehicles add to recent improvements like fixed traffic lights and better water supply for homes. Ncube asked other towns to follow what Gweru does with clear spending and fair service for all citizens. He praised the council for putting money into things that help both families and businesses in town. The government wants all local leaders to focus on building market spaces, fixing roads, and managing trash collection. Ncube thinks these trucks will change how people live in Gweru.
Councillors plan to use the vehicles to respond quicker when things break down around town. The city has already started farming again and brought back Go Beer to stores. Local officials submitted their city plans as the government had requested earlier. Gweru wants to become a modern city where services work well for everyone living there.
