The matter was hotly debated on Thursday at a full council
meeting with councillors querying why management had not attended to the
problems of Kwekwe’s public toilets which are blocked and unusable.
Residents are using the bush, creating a serious health
hazard.
After receiving a public outcry, Ncube instructed council
to immediately attend to the problems.
“What is delaying the process of having functional public
toilets? Because as it is we are not safe,” said Councillor Siziwe Ncube during
a full council meeting on Thursday.
Mayor Albert Zinhanga called upon management to thoroughly
check on all the public toilets and make the necessary repairs.In response, the
town clerk, Dr Lucia Mkandhla called for an immediate action to address the
situation.
“This is an urgent matter, the situation is unacceptable
because we have dedicated plumbers for the job and we need to know why there is
no progress,” said Mkandhla.
Director of Works, Engineer John Mhike informed City
fathers that his department was not informed that materials needed for the work
had been purchased.
“I am hearing it now that the materials were procured
because we could not do anything without the necessary materials,” said Mhike.
One of the councillors, Dr Solomon Matsa offered his piece
of land to construct toilets in the CBD. Masvingo Mirror
