HCC hands over Pomona dumpsite

Harare City Council (HCC) has handed over the Pomona dumpsite to a German investor, Geogenix BV, to transform the dumpsite into a waste management project under a deal that has courted controversy.

The deal has attracted litigation over possible irregularities on how it was awarded and structured. There is a pending case at the High Court, where Harare North legislator Norman Markham is challenging the awarding of project, which will see the city pay Geogenix US$316 million.
