CHRA demands elections now
Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA)
July 03, 2006

Today the Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA officially launched its rates boycott campaign. Seventy members of CHRA in Ward structures leadership lodged their objections at Town House and the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and Urban Development. Copies of the generic objection letter are being sent to our lawyers the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights for noting.

This launch of the protests is in line with the CHRA resolutions made at the weekend in Nyanga and marks the beginning of a winter of discontent by the residents of Harare who are unable and unwilling to pay any rates to the municipality until elections are held and sanity prevails at Town House.

These letters can be collected from CHRA offices at Daventry House Room 103, Cnr South Avenue/Angwa St.

Please find below what CHRA has produced in response to this crisis imposed on residents of Harare,

Steps to follow when lodging your objection letters
NB: CHRA is giving out five copies to each individual. One copy goes to Town House, Permanent Secretary Local Government, and Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), CHRA, and for the individual objecting. Please ensure that your objection letter is stamped by each office as proof of receipt.

  1. Town House, Mayor’s Parlour
  2. Local Government Makombe Building, 9th Floor, Minister’s Secretary
  3. Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, Beverley Court, 6th Floor, Corner Nelson Mandela/Fourth Street
