Kwekwe mayor wants peace

KWEKWE — New Mayor Councillor Matenda Madzoke says he wants to make peace with residents and pledged to bring transparency and accountability in the dealings of the local authority while weeding out corruption.

Madzoke came into office at a time the local authority had a frosty relationship with Kwekwe Residents and Ratepayers’ Development Association (KRRDA) over allegations of corruption and misuse of public resources.

KRRDA clashed with former Mayor Shadreck Tobaiwa over the budget formulation process which the association said was not consultative and did not represent the aspirations of residents who paid the bills.
