*Local Government Ministry Reverses Councillors' Decision To Elect Acting Mayor* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?cd The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works has reversed a decision by Harare City Council Councillors to elect an Acting Mayor saying the meeting was illegal and so are any decisions made at that gathering. In a letter, seen by Pindula News, Local Government Secretary, L Mudyiwa, said councillor Mutizwa will continue acting until Mayor Jacob Mafume has been cleared by the courts. Reads the letter: *ACTING MAYOR-CITY OF HARARE* > The above matter refers. Reference is made to the letter dated 20 April 2022 by the Honourable Minister. It has come to my attention that on 22 April 2022, an illegal meeting was convened where an Acting Mayor was elected. We have observed that this meeting which purportedly elected an Acting Mayor was not properly convened as there was no declaration of vacancy and no notice by the Chamber Secretary to convene the meeting, hence it was an illegal. Therefore, whatever decisions and resolutions made during that meeting are null and void. > Councillor Mutizwa who has been the Acting Mayor must continue in that Acting capacity until Jacob Mafumes Issues are finalised by the Court and or Tribunal. > L. Mudyiwa Acting Secretary for Local Government and Public Works > Cc: Minister of Local Government and Public Works > Minister of State for Provincial Affairs- Harare Metropolitan Province > Deputy Minister of Local Government and Public Works > Permanent Secretary Ministry of Local Government and Public Works > Secretary- Harare Metropolitan Province Acting Mayor- City of Harare More: Pindula News ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
