HARARE Mayor Councillor Jacob Mafume has admitted that he is receiving allowances that he is not entitled to.

Appearing before the Commission of Inquiry into Harare City Council’s affairs since 2017, Councillor Mafume conceded that his actions had negatively impacted ratepayers.

The admission came after the Justice Maphios Cheda-chaired inquiry revealed that Mafume is getting benefits that are outside his official entitlements.

“In the context that our interpretation of the Act led to harm and prejudice for ratepayers, I am sorry,” said Mafume.

He further stated his readiness to correct the misinterpretation of the Government circular outlining his official entitlements.
