‘I have no plans of unleashing touts on illegal settlers’

MUTARE mayor Tatenda Nhamarare has denied speculative reports that he was planning to hire touts to torch 760 illegal structures built by members of the Zimbabwe Homeless People’s Federation Association (ZHPFA).

His remarks came after ZHPFA chairperson Luke Charles Mukungati told NewsDay yesterday that members of the association had information that Nhamarare was planning to unleash touts on them.

“There was a commuter omnibus with touts that patrolled our area on Sunday and when we enquired over its mission, we were told that Nhamarare had hired them.
