Gweru City Council defies Government directive

Gweru mayor, Clr Tedius Chimombe and senior council managers recently travelled to Harare seeking recourse with the minister.
Local Government Rural and Urban Development Minister Ignatius Chombo recently wrote to Gweru City Council ordering the local authority to reinstate Mr Masinire. Mr Masinire was dismissed from council early this year after an investigating committee found him guilty of corruption and nepotism.
Sources within council said Clr Chimombe, the town clerk, Mr Daniel Matawu and some councillors travelled to Harare last week where they met minister Chombo.
