Manyenyeni chides Harare ‘city of booze’

Harare mayor, Bernard Manyenyeni has chided the local authority for licensing more bottle stores at the expense of residential stands, earning itself the tag “booze city”.
Manyenyeni said city liquor outlets were “becoming the only game in town at every shopping centre”, while council has failed to provide meaningful infrastructure development.

“Picking just a few spots like Highfield (pamaStones), Newlands (Murandy Square), Sunridge (Albury Road), Kuwadzana 6 (best Gango Place in Harare), Hillside (paHuku), Glen Norah, Marlborough (Civic Centre) – you can pick many others,” Manyenyeni said.
