Mbare
residents cry foul over supplementary housing scheme
Combined Harare
Residents Association (CHRA)
June 08, 2007
RESIDENTS of Mbare have
expressed concern at the introduction of a supplementary 'special
housing scheme' which they never knew of until their May statements
arrived a week ago. It remains unclear when and how the illegal
commission arrived at that scheme.
Mrs. Margaret
Matienga, the CHRA Ward 12 Coordinator showed CHRA her May statement
from the City of Harare that indicates that a supplementary housing
scheme for 1980/81 and others, costing $11 288 has been introduced
on residents' and should be paid.
Mrs. Matienga says she
does not even have a housing scheme that she is required to pay
such a supplementary fee.
She said the City of
Harare must explain why it has introduced this supplementary charge
to residents, yet none of them has any housing scheme underway.
CHRA will approach its
lawyers for immediate action to stop this madness from the City
of Harare.
The City of
Harare has been failing to deliver to residents. Service charges
have continued to increase without any corresponding services being
rendered. The City Commission has remained in office despite a High
Court ruling on 2 March by Justice Lawrence Kamocha that declared
the commission illegal and without mandate to act on behalf of the
City of Harare.
