BCC secretly acquires luxury cars for managers

Bulawayo City Council management has reportedly secretly bought top-of-the-range vehicles for departmental heads despite a recent motion blocking the move by councillors, it has emerged.

Councillors opposed the purchase of cars worth over $2 million for directors citing the local authority’s precarious financial position.

But it emerged this week that council management defied the councillors and bought a Toyota Prado and a Toyota Fortuner vehicles for the finance director Kempton Ndimande and his housing and community services counterpart, Isaiah Magagula respectively.
