Victoria Falls: Newly born Victoria Falls City has assured residents that the new status will not result in an upward amendment of the 2021 budget as widely claimed by a section of residents.
The local authority crafted a budget for 2021 which is with the Local Government awaiting approval.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa conferred city status to the municipality last week and also proclaimed takeover of water management rights from Zinwa, putting an end to a long standing battle between the two authorities for control of bulk water supply.
The council is now looking up to government for a transition fund to allow it to grow infrastructure and service that is befitting to a city.
