Reads the message: > Councillors I need to explain my position to you all regarding the Independence Day celebrations today. > Whilst a general notice has been sent out to Councillor, the office of Mayor has not been invited by Government to attend. This is a basic courtesy which should be extended to the office, not me personally as such. > I have also been advised that in recent years Mayors were snubbed at Independence Day celebrations to such an extent that they no longer attended. Whilst I hope this treatment of Mayors has ended I am not prepared to allow it to happen again. > A few weeks ago I was invited to a function – a Business Expo – where the office of Mayor was snubbed by Government at the event. I registered a protest and left. I am not prepared to allow the office of Mayor be denigrated again. > I have made sure that at events I have control over, appropriate Government officials are invited personally and I expect that the office of Mayor will be respected in a similar fashion going forward. > I am grateful that you are attending this national celebration and am with you all in spirit. > God bless Zimbabwe.
