*Bulawayo City Council Approaches AfDB Seeking US$10m Loan* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?qj Bulawayo City Council has approached the Africa Development Bank (AFDB) for a US$10 million loan to rehabilitate its sewer and water systems. This was revealed by town clerk Christopher Dube on Thursday during a media briefing. NewsDay Zimbabwe’s Patricia Sibanda quotes him as saying: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

For instance, in terms of the water and sewer mains renewals, we were supposed to do a lot. I am not quite sure about the statistics, but maybe it was about 47km and we did quite less than that. > Then it is this difference, this variance which we applied to government and AFDB to say can you make the money available to do the works that were not done because of variations and we applied for US$10 million, but if we were to be given any excess above that it will be a welcome development. Bulawayo has had water challenges for many years and the situation has been worsening over the years. *Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
