Harare residents have expressed concern over the water challenges in the city and warned that Harare is at risk of another cholera outbreak as the water situation has reached a crisis level, with many suburbs going without water for over a week.
The director of the Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA), Reuben Akili, emphasized that the water crisis is particularly worrisome as the hot season, known for water challenges and waterborne diseases, approaches. He said:
<blockquote>
In our view, the issue of water crisis which is happening when we are getting into the hot season which is characterised by water challenges and waterborne diseases is worrisome.
</blockquote>
Hardlife Mudzingwa, the director of the Community Water Alliance, accused the authorities of only treating the symptoms of the problem instead of addressing the root cause. Mudzingwa said:
<blockquote>
Despite cholera cases in Harare, the priority of the government from national tier to lowest tier (local authority) has been on treating symptoms of the problem rather than addressing the root cause.
</blockquote>
Precious Shumba, the director of the Harare Residents Trust (HRT), criticized the local authority for failing the residents and expressed concerns that primitive disease outbreaks would persist if service delivery and attitudes remained unchanged. He said:
<blockquote>
Primitive disease outbreaks will be with us for a long time as long as the attitude and level of service delivery remains as it is. We fear that the approaching rainy season will worsen the situation for residents.
</blockquote>
Rudo Chikodzore, the director for epidemiology and disease control in the Ministry of Health and Child Care, stated that they had a strategy in place to save lives, which had been successful in reducing the case fatality rate in Harare province during the recent cholera outbreak. Chikodzore said:
<blockquote>
This has been successful in Harare province as seen by a low case fatality rate of 0,4% for the metropolitan province despite a high number of cholera cases in the just ended cholera outbreak.
</blockquote>
This year, the cholera outbreak initially started in Chegutu in February and then spread across the country, with Harare reporting 1,616 suspected cases so far.

Harare Residents Warn Of Cholera Risk Due To Water Challenges And Shortages

The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) last week met energy consumers at Sunningdale Community Hall in Harare to share information on the safe use and efficient use of energy products.
The engagement was held in partnership with the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), the Harare Residents Trust and the Consumer Council of Zimbabwe.
The engagements are premised on offering the residents an opportunity to raise their energy-related concerns and complaints and how such are handled through the “complaints handling procedure.
Eng. Nelia Mupereka bemoaned the loss of lives and limbs due to electrical accidents as a result of disregarding safety advice in handling electrical infrastructure.
<h2>Major causes of recorded electricity accidents:</h2>
<blockquote>
i). Unsafe practices or operations by members of the public constitute the biggest part of the accidents at 40% of the recorded cases.
ii). Some of the attributed malpractices include illegal connections.
iii). <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/10/was-electrocuted-while-tampering-with-zesa-equipment/">Tampering with electrical infrastructure</a>
iv). Overloading of electricity adapters and engaging unqualified and unauthorized personnel for domestic electrical installations.
</blockquote>
ZESA has in the past reported that some of the power cuts across the country are being caused by vandalism to its properties including transformers and cables.
Reports of people who died while tampering with ZESA equipment have been on the rise. In some cases, ZESA employees were implicated.

ZERA Lists Major Causes Of Recorded Electricity Accidents

Harare Residents Trust (HRT) director, Precious Shumba has said HRT intends to approach the Minister of Local Government and Public Works, July Moyo, to ask him to reconsider the approval of exorbitant rates.
Shumba said the rates being charged by the City of Harare were “unsustainable, unjustified” and further weakened the capacity of the ratepayers to escape socio-economic challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic and high unemployment levels. He said:
<blockquote>
The HRT intends to escalate the issue to the Minister of Local Government and Public Works who approved the City of Harare rates for his re-consideration of the 2021 budget.
While the Minister approved the city’s 2021 budget on time, the budget is not affordable to most ratepayers.
</blockquote>
HRT has since submitted a petition to the local government authority informing the city fathers that the rates were unaffordable hence the need to reconsider them.
Responding to the petition, Acting Mayor Stewart Mutizwa said he was a ‘listening Mayor’ and wanted a sustainable solution to the issues bedevilling the city. Mutizwa said:

<div data-google-query-id="CLCH5b_U3-8CFYYHBgAdeM8ArQ" id="/26225854/Dotaudience/newzimbabwe.com/Lazy2">
<blockquote>
<div id="google_ads_iframe_/26225854/Dotaudience/newzimbabwe.com/Lazy2_0__container__">I am receiving your petition, I will read through it and will refer it to the responsible offices in our council system.</div>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Ratepayers are an integral part of the city’s development 2 architecture, and their views and submissions will be treated with the utmost respect and consideration.
</blockquote>
Cllr Mutizwa also appealed to residents to pay their bills on time saying the biggest obstacles to smooth service delivery were failed strategic business units.
He said without a government subsidy on most of their services, they were mostly relying on ratepayers.
Rates are used for the provision of services such as water, lighting, sewer reticulation and garbage collection.

Harare Residents Want Local Govt Minister To Reconsider Approval Of Exorbitant Rates

The Harare Residents Trust (HRT) has accused the ruling ZANU PF party of sabotaging urban local authorities as part of a choreographed plan turn the electorate against opposition political parties ahead of the 2023 general elections.
This comes after President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday accused the MDC Alliance-led urban councils of failure to provide services, saying it was high time voters reject the party.
Harare Residents Trust director Precious Shumba claimed that for a long time, ZANU PF had an agenda to undermine local authorities run by the opposition and Mnangagwa has just confirmed it. Said Shumba:
<blockquote>It’s all about electioneering. As residents, we have observed with increasing alarm that the central government is suffocating local authorities in Zimbabwe, especially urban local authorities under the control of opposition councillors.
The President is confirming a long-held agenda of ZANU PF to undermine local authorities run by the opposition in order to make the ratepayers reject the opposition.
The idea, in our view, is that when opposition-led councils fail to deliver, ratepayers will eventually discard them in preference of ruling party candidates.</blockquote>
Shumba called upon the central government to address the issue of devolution and stop interfering with the running of councils.
He also said the government still retain executive authority over the approval of budgets, recruitments and dismissal of senior council officials, hence the buck stops with the central government.
