Bulawayo City council has failed its citizens by failing to do its duties properly.There are just there in name allowing other organizations to control matters affecting the public and this really is bad.Everyone knows that the mandate of companies is to make profits not to satisfy the people s needs.Then how do you expect these companies to operate in favor of the people?There is no way that can happen however our leaders have given the companies the right to control the city.
For example,the supply of electricity should be a mandate of the council to its people but our council so it fit to give all the powers to the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA).That is why ZESA holdings can cut off electricity for residents at any time they want without any apologies sometimes.The public had cash power installed for them because this company was saying there are not paying their dues.However,with this strategy,everyone buys the electricity they can afford but still electricity shedding has even increased i n the city.What is the excuse now.
What about Zimbabwe National Roads Services (ZINARA),is it really necessary to give them power over all roads in the city.Inst it there are supposed to maintain those roads in between cities and places and not in cities?What is causing then our council to want to give their responsibilities to other organizations.Is it because of lack of funds or not knowing their sole purpose in a city because as residents we need to know what is going on.We deserve a council that will fight for us so that we have better living standards not position holders.How can our city develops when these companies are only after profits,the council should real look into thus so that Bulawayo can be a better place.
"Bulawayo has long been regarded as the industrial and business capital of Zimbabwe and is home to the National Railways of Zimbabwe because of
its strategic position near Botswana and South Africa"said Bulawayo spokes person
and the public needs to see it and experience it and it only takes working together.
