Kwekwe Mayor Albert Zinhanga denied rumors about bedbugs spreading across the city. He said troublemakers exaggerated a small issue affecting just a few homes in Mbizo 7. The city already treated these one-room houses with pest control measures.
Zinhanga visited the area himself, as did health officials who sprayed chemicals to kill the insects. According to the mayor, no new cases appeared after treatment. Someone shared misleading messages online that went viral despite having little truth behind them. The health department confirmed to the full council that officials have the situation under control.
The mayor assured residents they need not worry about any bedbug outbreak. Health teams addressed the isolated problem quickly through proper fumigation techniques. City leadership asks citizens to remain calm rather than spread panic. The treated area represents only a tiny section of Kwekwe where officials found pests.
