Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo has met his sudden disappointment and there is no more going back on the axing of Town Clerk Tendai Mahachi.
Harare mayor Bernard Manyenyeni on Thursday said he does not care about Local Government and National Minister Ignatius Chombo’s reactions over his decision to remove “corruption suspect” Town Clerk Tendai Mahachi.
Speaking during a meeting with residents, Mayor Manyenyeni said,

National Vendors Union chairperson Sten Zvorwadza said since Mahachi’s ouster last week, Chombo is planning to reinstate him like he did last year. SEE-Drama as Chombo Reverses Harare Town Clerk’s Suspension.
