Simbarashe Nyahuye, Marondera ward 3 councillor from the MDC-T led by Thokozani Khupe yesterday won the Marondera mayoral election against the MDC Alliance led by advocate Nelson Chamisa.

Nyahuye got four votes against fellow Councillor Boniface Tagwirei who got three votes.

Nyahuye immediately took the oath of office to replace Clr Chengetai Murowa, who was recalled by the MDC-T.

“We will try to work together and residents are our first priority, and I am aware water is the greatest challenge and we are going to work tooth and nail to address the water situation,” he said.
