By Own Correspondent| A ticking time bomb is looming in Harare amid revelations by the city fathers that Harare City Council is unable to collect garbage due to fuel shortages.

Said the Harare City Council in a statement:

Dear Residents
Due to the prevailing fuel shortages on the market, we are unable to do our scheduled garbage collections. Today 16 garbage trucks were deployed. They have since exhausted their daily allocations. Efforts are being made to secure fuel. Once we are able to access fuel we will deploy the vehicles to their daily duties. We regret any inconveniences that may arise as a result of non collection.”
