THE Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing intends to alter boundaries for wards in Harare, Chitungwiza, Ruwa and Epworth.

The alterations, which would be done in terms of Chapter 29.15 of the Urban Councils Act, will see some wards that used to be outside Harare being incorporated into the city while some areas will be incorporated into other new ward boundaries.

The ministry said anyone who wishes to make representations concerning the proposals should lodge them in writing within a period of 30 days starting from Monday, July 5.

It also said the maps and reports relating to the proposals would be available for inspection free of charge at the ministry’s offices in all affected areas.

Areas to be affected by the proposals are Mazowe, Manyame/Seke and Zvimba rural district councils.

Some properties in the Southerton and Workington industrial areas, which used to be in ward 11, would be incorporated into ward 13 if the proposals are adopted.

Whitecliff and Merwede Township, which presently fall under Zvimba Rural District Council, would be incorporated into ward 44, which is in Highfield District in Harare.

Guzha Shopping Centre, which presently falls under ward 21 in Seke District, would be incorporated into ward 1 of Manyame Rural District Council.

Borrowdale Racecourse, which is currently in ward 8 in Borrowdale District, would be incorporated into ward 17 in the same district.

Manyame Airbase and Harare International Airport, which are currently in ward 1, Harare Central District, would be incorporated into ward 22 of the same district, according to the proposals.
