THE Harare Residents’ Trust (HRT) says residents in the capital have conceded that they made a “huge” mistake by electing MDC-T councillors into office in 2008, accusing them of bleeding the local authority through graft.

The committee comprises Local Government ministry officials, Defence, Youth, Women’s Affairs, Gender and Community Development, Health, Transport, the President’s Office and the District Development Fund, among others.
