The City of Bulawayo has announced the extension of Town Clerk Christopher Dube’s employment contract.
The extension follows a formal communication from the Local Government Board regarding a request for his contract extension.
In a statement issued this Thursday, 10 October, Bulawayo Mayor Councillor David Coltart confirmed that Dube’s service tenure has been extended by another year, effective from October 1, 2024. He said:
<blockquote>
The City of Bulawayo has received communication from the Local Government Board acceding to Council’s request regarding the extension of the contract for the Town Clerk of the City of Bulawayo, Mr Christopher Dube.
Consequently, therefore, residents, stakeholders and members of the public are advised that the service tenure for the Town Clerk has been extended by a further one year with effect from 1 October 2024.
In line with conventional practice on succession planning, the City of Bulawayo will commence the recruitment of the successor Town Clerk in due course in accordance with the enabling legislation.
</blockquote>
Last week, the local authority announced that the Local Government Board had not renewed Dube’s contract, as his four-year contract was set to end on September 30. The council said at the time:
<blockquote>
Whereas council had resolved (7 February 2024) to extend the contract subject to approval by the Local Government Board, a request of approval was sent to the Local Government Board on 25th March 2024. However, by the end of day on 30 September 2024 such approval had not been obtained.

The Town Clerk of Bulawayo, Christopher Dube, had his contract extended by a year starting from October 1, 2024. This decision was made after the Local Government Board received a request for the extension. The City of Bulawayo will start looking for a successor for the Town Clerk according to the law. Earlier, the Local Government Board didn't renew Dube's contract, which was supposed to end on September 30. The council had requested an extension back in February, but approval was not given by the end of September. Now, Dube will continue his role for another year.

Bulawayo Town Clerk Christopher Dube’s Contract Extended

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Winston_Chitando/">Winston Chitando</a>, the Local Government and Public Works Minister, has informed the Bulawayo City Council about the expulsion of 12 <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Citizens'_Coalition_for_Change/">Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)</a> party councillors from the local government authority. The decision was made based on instructions from <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Sengezo_Tshabangu/">Sengezo Tshabangu</a>, who claims to be the party’s interim Secretary-General. In Bulawayo, the 12 councillors that were recalled by Mr Tshabangu, include;
<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Councillor Donaldson Mabuto (the deputy mayor),</li>
<li>Clr Shepherd Dube (ward one),</li>
<li>Clr Nkosinathi Hove Mpofu (ward six),</li>
<li>Clr Takunda Felix Madzana (Ward 18),</li>
<li>Clr Simbarashe Dube (ward 20),</li>
<li>Clr Tinevimbo Maphosa (ward 21),</li>
<li>Clr Thobeka Mmeli Moyo (ward 22),</li>
<li>Clr Arnold Batirai (Ward 24) and</li>
</ul>
Proportional representation councillors:
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Clr Sarah Cronje,</li>
<li>Clr Tabeth Mhizha,</li>
<li>Clr Dorcas Sibanda and</li>
<li>Clr Zibusiso Tshongwe.</li>
</ul>
On October 18, 2023, Minister Chitando sent a letter to the town clerk, Mr. Christopher Dube, stating that the city’s local authority must now inform the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission about the recalls so as to prepare for upcoming by-elections in the area, according to the <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/minister-chitando-notifies-bcc-of-ccc-recalls-as-councillors-meet-to-elect-acting-deputy-mayor/">Sunday News</a>. Reads the letter:
<blockquote>
I wish to inform you that I am in receipt of a letter from the Citizens Coalition for Change, stating that the following councillors have ceased to be members of the Citizens Coalition for Change political party. In terms of Section 121 of the Electoral Act, please proceed to inform the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission of these vacancies.
</blockquote>
Today, the councillors met to choose an acting deputy mayor as a replacement for the recalled Mabutho. 
Bulawayo Mayor, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/David_Coltart/">David Coltart</a>, criticised the recalls and stated that the Minister’s actions are a significant violation of section 68 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to administrative justice. He said:
<blockquote>
The Minister was required to ascertain whether the person purporting to act on behalf of the party was authorised to do so. He was also required to act in a procedurally fair manner, which includes the right of the Councillors affected to be heard before he acted. But the greatest breach is the moral breach – all of these Councillors have recently been voted into office by the overwhelming votes (over 80% majorities in most cases), directly or indirectly, of the citizens of Bulawayo. This is a total negation of democracy- it is an outrage. 
</blockquote>
Coltart said that ZANU PF is the only party benefiting from these actions and is likely responsible for them. He said although this undermines the work of the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Bulawayo_City_Council/">Bulawayo City Council</a>, they will keep working hard to improve the city. Coltart said they will also take legal and diplomatic actions to challenge this “unjust behaviour.”

<blockquote>

Bulawayo City Council Vows To Eliminate Illegal Vending Next Week

Bulawayo City Council and its partner Tendy Three Investments Private Limited (TTI) have reviewed the smart parking pricing model following consultations with stakeholders.
In a statement on Wednesday, Town Clerk Christopher Dube said motorists are now allowed to transfer parking minutes to other bays within an hour.
Previously, motorists’ parking tickets expired once they moved from their parking bay even if they parked for a few minutes. Said Dube:
<blockquote>
The City of Bulawayo and Tendy Three Investments Private Limited (TTI) have reviewed the smart parking pricing model with immediate effect.
Motorists will now be able to transfer their paid parking time to different parking bays during the time that they would have paid for with effect from the 10th of August 2022.
For example, a motorist can purchase a US$1 per hour, or its equivalent pegged at the ongoing bank rate of the RBZ auction Rate, parking at Bay A and can move to Bay B or Bay C etc within their hour without being charged parking fees during the one (1) hour that they would have purchased.
The system will deduct minutes as the motorists park in different bays in the one hour.
The pricing adjustment follows extensive consultations with stakeholders and recognises the prevailing harsh economic environment.
The City remains committed to ensuring that motorists have access to parking bays through the deployment of state-of-the-art global technological systems.
Payment methods are also being strengthened so that all the parking fees are remitted to designated company accounts.
The project bankers are seized with perfecting a transparent and accountable banking system supported by a robust Information Technology solution.

ZITF: Bulawayo Announces Temporary Closure Of Hillside Road

Newly-elected Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) councillors in Bulawayo are reportedly planning to remove the city’s mayor Councillor Solomon Mguni and Town Clerk, Christopher Dube.
The councillors recently held a caucus at their provincial party offices, which was chaired by the former deputy mayor, Tinashe Kambarami and former Bulawayo Senator, Matson Hlalo.
Kambarami is no longer a sitting councillor after he was recalled from Council by the Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC-T.
The former Ward 3 councillor is, however, challenging his recall in the courts and as a result, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission could not conduct by-elections in the ward.
Eight candidates from the CCC won the by-elections that were held on 26 March, namely Clr Edwin Ndlovu (Ward 8), Clr Donaldson Mabuto (Ward 9), Alderman Lilian Mlilo (Ward 12), Clr Concilia Mlalazi (Ward 18), Clr Christopher Dube (Ward 19), Ald Earnest Rafomoyo (Ward 20), Clr Tinevimbo Maposa (Ward 21) and Clr Mpumelelo Moyo (Ward 26).
The Sunday News reported sources as saying the caucus took place at the party offices and was also attended by Ward Two councillor Joyce Ndlovu, who was voted into office under an MDC Alliance ticket. Said the source:
<blockquote>
The caucus took place on Wednesday, chaired by Kambarami and Senator Hlalo and among other things it was agreed that they push for the ouster of the Mayor and the Town Clerk. This will be done through a motion of no-confidence against the duo.
However, the possible hold up was the issue of raising the numbers since they are a minority.
Kambarami chaired the caucus and he made it clear that the councillors’ mandate was to get rid of Clr Mguni and also reverse a number of policies, including the parking management system contract.
</blockquote>
The party’s caucus secretary, Clr Mabuto denied the allegations, saying CCC’s focus is focused on advancing the aspirations of the Bulawayo residents. He said:
<blockquote>
We had a meeting, that I can confirm, but I cannot say it was a caucus, it was more of a celebration meeting by the eight winning councillors and other party members.
Further, I must dismiss the speculation that is going around that we want to oust the mayor or deputy or town clerk, that is not true, we are not going to council to cause turmoil.
All that we are focusing on is pushing for development and creating reconnecting council and the residents.
We also want to raise pertinent questions on issues such as the parking management system tender, our colleagues should give us answers on this issue.
</blockquote>
Kambarami also refuted allegations that they were pushing for the ouster of Clr Mguni and Dube. He said the issue was never discussed.
He said the meeting was for congratulating the newly elected councillors and giving them direction on how they will conduct council business going forward.

CCC Councillors Plotting Bulawayo Mayor, Town Clerk Ouster | Report

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has cleared Bulawayo mayor, Councillor <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Solomon_Mguni">Solomon Mguni</a> and the Town Clerk, Christopher Dube, of any wrongdoing regarding corruption allegations that were levelled against them.
In 2020, Bulawayo residents questioned Clr Mguni’s leasing of a 3.5-hectare piece of land at Lower Rangemore under a 25-year lease at $165 per month rent.
The local authority had received 24 objections where a total of 33 different issues were raised from residents regarding the lease.
Residents argued that the mayor had used his privileged access to information to make an application for the said property.
They also claimed that this was an illegitimate deal that promoted clientelism, patronage and capture.
Meanwhile, Dube was on the radar of the anti-graft body over his purchase of a commercial stand, in Selborne Park as part of his proposed conditions of service.
The Town Clerk already had another stand adjacent to the one he was being offered.
In a letter dated 5 October 2021, ZACC chairperson, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Loice_Matanda-Moyo">Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo</a> noted that all the resolutions were done above board.
She said that the commission had held a rapid compliance spot check on the allocation of stands following the issues that were raised between 14 and 18 September last year. Wrote Matanda-Moyo:
<blockquote>
The findings were that the council resolved to offer a commercial stand for which the Town Clerk was expected to pay the full price.
Furthermore, the council was to purchase a new vehicle which the Town Clerk was to buy at 25 per cent net book value.
With regards to the mayor’s 25-year lease for 3.5-hectare agriculture land at Lower Rangemore, the findings were that the mayor is allowed to apply for urban agriculture land like any other Bulawayo resident and be subjected to the same rentals which are prevailing in that area.
</blockquote>
The ZACC chairperson said the body will soon be carrying out a comprehensive compliance and systems review at the Bulawayo City Council, after which they will now be carrying quarterly monitoring and evaluation.

ZACC Clears Bulawayo Mayor, Town Clerk Of Corruption Allegations

Two Bulawayo councillors (MDC Alliance), were on Tuesday acquitted of charges of assaulting the Town Clerk, Christopher Dube, for lack of evidence.
Councillor Tinashe Kambarami, who is also the deputy mayor, and Ward Four Councillor Silas Chigora pleaded not guilty to joint charges of having assaulted Dube while serving him with a letter of suspension in July this year.
In his ruling, Bulawayo magistrate, Tinashe Tashaya, acquitted the two councillors of assault charges, saying that the complainant’s testimony could not be relied upon as it was not credible and truthful. He said:
<blockquote>It is clear and not disputed that the evidence by the two State witnesses was damaging to the State case as they contradicted the complainant’s version.
Clearly, their testimonies did not corroborate with the evidence of the complainant, which in itself was not credible and reliable.
In light of the above, the State has failed to prove a prima facie case against the accused persons and I hereby retain a verdict of not guilty and accordingly, they are acquitted.</blockquote>
