Jane Mlambo| Harare Mayor, Councilor Herbert Gomba has hinted that he is mooting opening Morton Jeffray water works to Harare residents so that they can appreciate the work done with the $72 million received from a Chinese loan to refurbish the city’s water infrastructure.

Gomba said contrary to reports that the money was abused by the local authority, the Chinese funder stopped disbursements after a dispute arose over repayment terms.

“I will engage with the director of water to allow residents to visit the treatment works so that they can see for themselves how we put to use the $72 million council received from China,” he said.

Residents’ groups have accused council of supplying contaminated water and in some areas not being able to supply at all.
