Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni has excelled in areas such as the roads and housing sectors.
During the first years in office, there was not much activity from the mayor and his team. However the last few years have been filled with development, especially in the area of road rehabilitation.
The roads situation has improved and we are witnessing major upgrades of laying new surfaces in most parts of the city.
In the central business district, one-way roads have been created to ensure smooth passage of vehicles. This was an improvement. There is also the issue of housing. The Harare City Council has tried to partner a number of players to ensure housing for all. However, I feel low-income earners have been sidelined because the housing units are expensive.
Council also worked on regularising some of the housing settlements which were illegal. Challenges remain on vendors. City fathers have not managed to remove vendors from the streets.
The vendor situation worsened probably due to economic situation in the country.
