Residents to resume march against council

RESIDENTS of Sidojiwe low-cost housing scheme in Bulawayo have blasted the city council for allegedly demanding exorbitant rates and refusing to give them title deeds to houses which were built for them by an Australian donor agency.

The residents said they cannot afford the high rates charged by the local authority, as most of them were elderly people.

Their spokesperson, Mandula Ncube accused council of reaping where it did not sow.
