Govt cracks whip on HCC workshops

GOVERNMENT has cracked the whip on Harare City Council (HCC), barring the local authority from holding workshops outside the capital, arguing that this was gobbling thousands of dollars in ratepayers’ money.

Addressing a full council meeting at Town House yesterday, mayor Jacob Mafume said they received a circular from Local Government and Public Works minister Daniel Garwe over the matter.

He said Garwe raised concern over workshops being held outside Harare.
