admincome in the open and join the anti-sanctions campaign.
Speaking during a tour of residential areas being affected by water shortages and power outages Zanu-PF provincial spokesperson Cde Claudius Mutero said the institutions cannot offer proper services because of the embargo.
“The Harare City Council and Zesa must come out in the open and speak against the sanctions that are affecting service provision.
“They should come out in the open and allow us to fight the same battle because sanctions are affecting every sector.
“Harare City Council must not blame Zesa for the water shortages rocking the city as these shortages have been ongoing well before Zesa embarked on its annual generator maintenance work at Kariba Power Station.”
Cde Mutero said if the water situation was not addressed, there was a possibility of a cholera outbreak.
“Another cholera outbreak would not surprise us if the water problems persist,” he said.
Chitungwiza residents also felt neglected and have called for the resignation of council’s management.
Zanu-PF chairperson for Chitungwiza Cde Constance Mapfumo accused the local authority of poor services.
“The council is only interested in bill collection but is ineffective in the maintenance of its infrastructure and water provision.
“We expect them to be loud on the removal of sanctions but it is disheartening not to hear their voice on the issue.
“We are left with no choice but to ask for the complete overhaul of the council’s management,” she said.
Harare, Chitungwiza and Norton have been experiencing acute water shortages amid concerns from residents.
