CHITUNGWIZA mayor Rosaria Mangoma has emphasised the urgency of solving sewage-related challenges in the town.
Speaking at a two-day workshop organised by her council in partnership with the African Mayoral Leadership Initiative (AMALI) aimed at establishing a foundational data management system to address longstanding sewer infrastructure crisis, Mayor Mangoma said her legacy goal was to decisively address perennial sewage challenges in the town in the next four years.
“This programme may not bring funding, but empowers us to gather, use and communicate data effectively to unlock resources and improve service delivery,” she said.
Mayor Mangoma acknowledged the progress on the ground including new sewer pipe installations in St Mary’s and ongoing rehabilitation of the Seke and Zengeza outfall projects.
“As we welcome the AMALI team to Chitungwiza, let this workshop be a turning point.May it spark a culture of smart data use that goes beyond sewer challenges to every facet of service delivery,” she said.
The AMALI team is expected to tour project sites in Chitungwiza before the end of the workshop.
