Harare and Munich are twin sisters and help each other to develop. The relationship between the two cities started in the 1980s but went on ice when the Elias Mudzuri council was dismissed on corruption charges.
Deputy Mayor Emmanuel Chiroto helped resuscitate the relationship when he visited Germany to explain the good political situation in the country.
