The Harare City Council reportedly collected only US$100 in licence fees from tuckshop owners in residential areas over six months.
This was said by Harare City Council’s acting revenue collection manager, Alfred Guni when he appeared before the Commission of Inquiry, which is probing the operations of Harare City Council since 2017, chaired by retired Justice Maphios Cheda.
He said from April to September 2024, the City Council recorded only US$100 from tuckshops located in residential areas.
The paltry revenue collected from tuckshops raises suspicions of massive corruption within the council, given that almost every street in high-density residential areas has several tuckshops. Said Guni:
<blockquote>
The revenue from tuckshops in residential areas is collected by our market officers, who go around to gather these funds.
If we collect as little as US$100, it indicates a failure on the part of those designated to collect the funds.
This level of performance is concerning, given the number of tuckshops around the city.
</blockquote>
Guni conceded that the City Council is grappling with revenue leakages due to corrupt officials. He said:
<blockquote>
I would not confirm that the City Council owns tuckshops but it licenses privately owned tuckshops but what it owns are commercial buildings that are available for rental to the public.
The City made a resolution to collect tuckshop fees from those we see in our residential areas as long as they are compliant with the building inspectorate laws.
That figure does not mean nothing came but it is a percentage of a huge figure. What it means is that we are getting very low income.

The Harare City Council only collected $100 in fees from tuckshop owners in residential areas in six months. This is a very small amount of money. The council suspects corruption because there are many tuckshops in the city, but they are not collecting enough money from them. The council's revenue manager said they have problems with corrupt officials causing money to be lost. They need to fix this problem to collect more money from tuckshops.

Shock As Harare Council Collects Only $100 In Tuckshop Licence Fees Over Six Months

Takudzwa Dzumbunu, chairperson for Works and Town Planning at Harare City Council, was on Tuesday fined US$300 or spend six months in prison for misleading the Commission of Inquiry about her academic qualifications.
The Commission, led by Retired High Court Judge Justice Maphios Cheda, reprimanded Dzumbunu after she retracted her claim of holding a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Public Administration.
Dzumbunu could not produce the degree, which she initially claimed was from the University of Zimbabwe when she appeared before the Commission in October.
Justice Cheda ordered Dzumbunu to provide the academic qualification as evidence.
During further questioning by lead investigator Thabani Mpofu, Dzumbunu, a Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) councillor, admitted to lying about her qualifications. She said:
<blockquote>
I thought I was going to get the certificates but I had failed one course and did not graduate.
My apologies for misleading the Commission. I thought I was going to get the certificates but it wasn’t going to be possible.
I have no justification for behaving the way that I did. I thought it was going to be an easy process to acquire my certificate but I should have just said that I haven’t acquired it yet.
</blockquote>
In her previous appearance before the Commission, Dzumbunu was briefly detained at the old Makombe building after being found guilty of contempt.
The Commission of Inquiry has raised concerns about the qualifications and competence of some Harare City Council officials, revealing that several are underqualified for their positions.
Justice Cheda imposed a fine of U$300 on Dzumbunu for lying under oath. Said Cheda:
<blockquote>
You have made an undertaking that you will not in the future deliberately lie or mislead or misrepresent facts in the manner before this commission of inquiry. In addition, you have offered an apology for your bad conduct and behaviour before this Commission.
You are sentenced to pay a fine of 300 or six months imprisonment which is wholly suspended for a period of five years on condition that during that period you do not contravene sections 12, 13 and 14 of the Commission of Inquiry Act.
</blockquote>
This follows revelations that many Harare City Council committee chairpersons lack basic qualifications or relevant experience and fail to comprehend the demands of their roles.

Takudzwa Dzumbunu, A Harare Councillor, Fined US$300 For Lying She Has A Degree

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has extended the tenure of the Commission of Inquiry into the governance of Harare City Council by three months to allow it to complete its work.
The Commission, set up on May 10 with an initial six-month mandate to probe HCC from 2017, now has until early February 2025 to complete its work and report back to the President by early May.
Chaired by retired High Court judge Justice Maphios Cheda, the Commission includes former MDC top official Lucia Matibenga, Steven Chakaipa, Tabani Vusa Mpofu, and Khonzani Ncube. Local Government and Public Works Secretary John Basera is the commission’s secretary.
In Proclamation 5 of 2024, gazetted in Statutory Instrument 180 of 2024 on November 8, President Mnangagwa exercised the option of a three-month extension, extending the investigation to nine months.
The Commission’s terms of reference include investigating financial management systems, and audit compliance with the Public Finance Management Act, and other laws.
The Commission will investigate the financial management of revenue generated through special vehicle companies and other outsourced arrangements, such as Rufaro Marketing and City Parking.
The Commission will also investigate why Harare has not had an Enterprise Resource Planning system to manage its accounts since 2019 and quantify any resulting losses.
The Auditor-General has reported that the lack of an appropriate system has made it impossible to determine what has happened to some council revenue and whether funds are being misappropriated.
The Commission will investigate the management, sale, lease, or transfer of the local authority’s properties to private entities.
The Commission will also probe the convening of council meetings, adherence to standing orders and rules, and compliance with procurement laws, including the disposal of assets.
The President gave the Commission open-ended authority to investigate any other matter deemed appropriate and relevant to the inquiry.
The Commission has full power to visit premises, summon witnesses, record proceedings, and minute testimonies, and manage all gathered information.
Since being sworn in, the Commission has gathered evidence and questioned councillors and officials in public hearings.

Harare City Council Probe Team's Tenure Extended

Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume says the local authority has “nothing to hide” after President Emmerson Mnangagwa appointed a Commission of Inquiry to investigate governance issues at the city council.
Speaking at the Ordinary Council meeting at Town House on Tuesday, Mafume said the law provides for the establishment of such a commission in the interest of public welfare. He said (via <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/we-have-nothing-to-hide-says-mayor-mafume-after-mnangagwa-appoints-harare-commission-of-inquiry/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
We have nothing to hide, we are a public entity, we are a council of record and we are appointed by voters to enter public office, and this is exactly what public office means, it means that you can be enquired into your works by commissions, you can be enquired by parliamentary committees…
So the president deemed that the inquiry into the matters of Harare will be in the interest of public welfare.
</blockquote>
He also warned that non-cooperation with the Commission of Inquiry may result in criminal-related consequences. Said Mafume:
<blockquote>
But we encourage that we be candid in our communications and open in our communications because there are consequences that come with not cooperating with commissions of this nature and some of the consequences can end up being criminal or labour-related.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa recently appointed a commission of inquiry to investigate the City of Harare’s management and council since 2017.
The Commission is chaired by retired judge Maphios Cheda and includes opposition politician Lucia Matibenga, who was appointed Minister of Public Service by the late former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai during the GNU era.
The other members of the commission are Steven Chakaipa, Norbert Phiri, and Khonzani Ncube.
In terms of Statutory Instrument 91 of 2024, also Proclamation 2 of 2024, the Inquiry shall be held for six (6) months from the date of gazetting, with an option of an extension of a further three (3) months.
The Commission’s terms of reference include investigating financial management systems and audit compliance with the Public Finance Management Act [Chapter 22:19] and other laws, investigating financial management of revenue generated through special vehicle companies and other outsourced arrangements, and probing the reasons behind the failure to operate an Enterprise Resource Planning system for Harare City Council and quantify any losses accruing as a result.
