The Harare City Council (HCC) has said the shortage of manpower is affecting its “well-planned programme” for drain clearance and grass cutting.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, the local government authority said it had since approached the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works to get assistance. Reads the statement:
The City of Harare would like to advise residents, ratepayers, motorists and relevant stakeholders that the City has a well-planned programme for drain clearance and grass cutting.
FeedbackHowever, the City has a shortage of manpower in drain clearance and grass cutting.
The City has already engaged the parent ministry, Ministry of Local Government and Public Works over the matter and is still to get a response.
Once the City, has been cleared to recruit, it will expedite the process.
Harare City Council is responsible for maintaining and upgrading the drainage system to ensure that it can effectively manage stormwater and prevent flooding.
The city has been facing challenges with its drainage infrastructure due to population growth, urbanization, and lack of maintenance.
The drainage system has been overwhelmed by heavy rainfall and poor drainage design which has led to flooding in low-lying areas.
There have been efforts to upgrade the drainage infrastructure and preventative measures put in place to reduce the impact of flooding, but more work needs to be done to improve the overall effectiveness of the system.
On the other hand, uncut grass along roads can make it harder for drivers to see potential hazards and make it more difficult to spot pedestrians and or animals, which can contribute to road accidents.
