In an interview with The Herald yesterday, Harare corporate communications manager Michael Chideme said they have provisionally extended the window within which ratepayers who settle their debts will enjoy a 50 percent discount of the amount paid to October 31.
Said Chideme:
We are evaluating the request. Council will meet soon to deliberate on the appeal by ratepayers. We will always be amenable to the interests of the people. We have provisionally extended the discount promotion to 31 October 2018 due to public demand. We had long queues by close of business. Queues continued to swell as the day went to bed. We therefore acceded to public demand.
Harare Residents Trust urged the City of Harare to extend the promotion until 31 December 2018.
