Cheeky space barons milk HCC

SPACE barons occupying vending spaces in the capital Harare are reportedly making a killing, pocketing almost US$90 000 a month, prejudicing the local municipality of thousands in revenue.

The space barons allegedly linked to the ruling party Zanu PF bigwigs are occupying lucrative vending spaces in the capital that include the Fourth Street bus terminus area.

The Harare City Council has watched helplessly as powerful space barons keep using the ruling party card to muscle their way and dip into council revenue streams.
