The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on State Enterprises and Parastatals has noted that Harare City Council has stopped buying water treatment chemicals from Zimphos after the latter failed to provide standard chemicals owing to a number of challenges.
The committee, chaired by Zvishavane-Runde MP, Cde Larry Mavhima (Zanu-PF), said this while presenting its second report on the supply of water treatment chemicals by Chemplex Corporation to Harare City Council last Friday.
Cde Mavhima said Chemplex Corporation; the parent company for Zimphos was operating below 20 percent and had been plagued by challenges such as foreign currency, unavailability of spares and the general economic meltdown in the past years. This has seen it failing to provide standard water to Harare, a development that saw the city turning its back on the firm. – HR.
