The position fell vacant after Joshua Maligwa succumbed to
the COVID-19 virus on January 5 this year.
A popular traditional healer in Mutare, who refused to be
named, confirmed the night visits by some of the candidates.
“I am doing a lot of work at my shrine. The burdened are
being healed, but as for the past two weeks, my shrine was overwhelmed with
clients who are seeking to land the Mutare City Council town clerk’s position,”
the traditional healer told NewsDay.
“Most of them come at night. I am trying to help them, but
the most difficult thing is that only one person is needed for the job,” he
said. Mutare mayor Blessing Tandi recently disclosed that 43 candidates had
applied for the hot seat.
Tandi said the shortlisting of the candidates was expected
to be done next month. “I am happy with the overwhelming response of the people
who applied for the job. We have 43
people who have applied for the job,” Tandi said.
“I believe all the people are going to meet the conditions
we have set,. One of them is for them to have at least 10 years working
experience in a local authority,” he said.
The municipality’s health director Antony Mutara is
currently the acting town clerk. Newsday
