The leaders of Harare city have good news. They can start using their money plan for 2025 because the government said yes to it. The city's head, Engineer Moyo, told everyone that people would need to pay new prices for city services.
Last year, the city asked for 548 million US dollars to run everything in 2025. They made this plan after President Mnangagwa told them what he wanted them to do. Costa Mande, who helps manage the city's money, explained they want to make Harare better. They hope this will help Zimbabwe become a richer country by 2030.
The city plans to use computers to handle money better and stop losing any of it. They will fix many broken things around Harare. This includes making the roads nicer, fixing water pipes, and making sure everyone has clean water. They want to help people who need special care as well.
The leaders also want to clean up all the trash in Harare. Before they made their plan, they talked to many different people about what the city needed, which helped them understand what everyone wanted.
Mr. Mande mentioned they had some problems with their money plan in 2024. The plan started late because they only got permission to use it in July. Before that, they could only spend money on the most important things the law said they had to do.
