Harare city leaders keep taking money but show nothing for it. People have paid three extra fees since January with promises for better streets, water, and safety help. Four months passed with no signs of the cash helping anyone. Homes in nice areas pay up to $5.50 more each month. Poorer areas still hand over $3 every time bills arrive.
A local council member asked why nobody sees better services after all this money. The money boss claimed they just opened a special bank account to hold these fees. Angry people wonder where their cash goes when streets stay dark and water pipes stay dry. Tafadzwa from Warren Park pays extra, but his street lights never work. Rudo must buy water from trucks despite paying water taxes every month.
The mayor admitted money problems during a January meeting about the city. He blamed the lack of computer systems to track cash since 2019. Paper records make cheating easy because anyone can change the numbers. Everyone agrees that bad money handling causes poor service across town.
