Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume recently cleared up rumors about weekly fees at the Mbare Musika Hub. He denied social media claims that traders would pay $50 per week. The actual fee will not exceed $30 weekly, according to his statement. He mentioned the investors would receive rent breaks as part of the arrangement.
Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono asked who funded the project. Mafume explained that funding comes from a partnership between the government, Masimba company, and the city council. The mayor faces criticism from opponents who question how transparent and sustainable these plans are. He defended the approach, saying collaboration with various partners aims to create lasting benefits. The trading hub project represents an effort to improve market conditions for local vendors.
