Chinhoyi Municipality cannot explain where 6,700 litres of road repair fuel disappeared. The Zimbabwe National Roads Administration stopped sending money for street fixes until officials find the missing petrol. Local Government Deputy Minister Benjamin Kabikira told Parliament that city workers lost fuel records during an internal probe. The ministry plans to create an investigation team for the case.
Chinhoyi lawmaker Leslie Mhangwa asked about steps to solve the funding freeze between road authorities and city hall. Officials discovered the fuel shortage during a financial audit of municipal operations. The missing petrol has blocked road rehabilitation money for two years running. City residents demand answers about the vanished fuel before any new funding arrives.
Combined Chinhoyi Residents Association chairman Tendayi Musonza supports withholding money until investigations finish completely. The group fears more fuel could vanish if authorities release funds without solving the current mystery. NewsDay found that one suspended employee still receives full pay despite the 2023 suspension. Roads across Chinhoyi continue deteriorating without proper maintenance funding from national sources.
