Harare residents fume over council’s shambolic billing system

HARARE residents have rapped the city council for having no database of its billing system, arguing that this is a deliberate move by authorities to engage in corrupt
activities.

Mayor Jacob Mafume told a full council meeting last week that the local authority had no information on the number of households it is billing for services.

Mafume read the Riot Act saying heads should roll over the shambolic billing system and called for an urgent meeting of departmental heads to resolve the matter.
