Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 50534, member: 636"] President Mnangagwa's special advisor Paul Tungwarara landed a juicy contract to fix up Harare's broken sports centre. His company Prevail Group beat out other bidders to renovate the council building that has been falling apart for years. Mayor Jacob Mafume announced that the president personally picked Tungwarara's firm for the job. The deal raises serious questions about whether the process was fair and transparent. City officials refuse to explain exactly how Tungwarara got chosen for the lucrative project. Harare keeps handing out contracts to politically connected businessmen instead of following proper procedures. The city already gave controversial deals to other powerful figures including ZANU PF MP Scott Sakupwanya. Tungwarara's appointment follows the dodgy Geo Pomona waste management agreement that sparked public anger. Mayor Mafume used to oppose these backroom deals when businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei wanted to renovate Rufaro Stadium back in 2022. The mayor has completely changed his position and welcomes private partnerships with well-connected cronies. The City Sports Centre represents everything wrong with Harare's crumbling infrastructure and corrupt governance. Broken seats and cracked walls show years of neglect by incompetent city managers. The indoor venue once hosted thriving sports events but became a symbol of municipal failure. Residents wonder whether Tungwarara will actually fix the problems or just pocket taxpayer money. The renovation project could take years while ordinary citizens continue suffering from poor public services. [/QUOTE]
