Residents Pile Pressure On Masvingo City To Reduce 700% Rates Hike

By Tonderai Saharo MASVINGO: Fuming residents here continue to pile pressure on the Masvingo City Council (MCC) to review downwards a recent 700% hike it imposed service charges. The ratepayers are shocked that the local authority, which is struggling to provide water, refuse and sewer services, had its 2021 budget approved by the Local Minister July Moyo recently. This has witnessed a sharp increase in rates with residents now paying not less than $2 600 per month from the $870. The increases have angered the residents who in the past week have been staging flash demonstrations and handing over petitions to the city fathers demanding a review of the charges.
