More Harare City Council managers are facing the chop as the city continues rationalising its workforce to reduce the salary bill, which is consuming more than half of its revenue.
Harare Water director Engineer Christopher Zvobgo, whose contract lapsed at the end of May, will be replaced, while Engineer Phillip Pfukwa — who headed engineering services — is set to leave in August when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 60.
Council sources yesterday said international relations and protocol manager Mr Madenyika Magwenjere and committee’s manager Mr Everisto Marovanyanga, who have also reached retirement age, would be leaving soon.
And Harare mayor Mr Bernard Manyenyeni yesterday said: “We are looking forward to completing the restructuring process at the end of the month, however, I cannot disclose the names of those affected. Our intention is to apply the agreed position without favour or bias.”
Council recently collapsed several departments in a new structure, resulting in some directors becoming redundant.
