Minister of State Harare Metropolitan Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Senator Charles Tawengwa led the clean-up campaign in Glen View at Makomva Shopping Centre this morning.
He was joined by Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume and local councillors.
The initiative was mooted by President Mnangagwa as part of efforts to ensure a clean environment nationwide.
The clean-up exercise came just a few days after the launch of Operation Chenesa Harare 3 in Glen View.
Speaking after the clean-up exercise, Senator Tawengwa challenged residents to ensure a clean environment to eradicate diseases such as cholera.
Glen View was one of the cholera hotspots and the outbreak saw a number of residents falling victim.
Senator Tawengwa said residents should embrace proper waste management.
“I urge you to embrace proper waste management to reduce diseases associated with dirty environments. Waste management can be taken as a business. You can earn a living through recycling waste, ” he said.
“Let’s desist from littering. Proper waste management will even reduce the costs of chemicals needed for water treatment,” he said.
