Harare mayor, Councillor Jacob Mafume, has implored the City of Harare’s housing committee to deploy tractors for grass cutting.
Cllr Mafume at a full council meeting last week said there is tall grass everywhere, and people are being mugged.
He was responding to Ward 36, Warren Park, Cllr Hilda Ruzani, who raised grass-cutting concerns in her ward.
In an interview, Cllr Ruzani said areas that need grass cutting are Phase 3, Phase 4, Marimba, Mufakose, Kambuzuma, High Glen and High Glen Road.
“Motorists are failing to cross High Glen Road. We have roads such as Mukonono Road, which also has tall grass that needs to be cut, like in previous years, when council workers would be deployed to cut grass,” she said.
“People are being mugged and people come to me with reports of muggings because of the tall grass. We do not know what to do without a resolution on grass cutting.”
