By A Correspondent- Over 240 nurses have deserted the City of Harare owing to poor remuneration

Harare City said the nurses had abandoned the council to join organisations.
Previously, the council used to be one of the best paying employers but as poor management continues unabated in the city, many technical people are jumping ship to join better-paying companies.

In a recent tweet, the City of Harare said: “Vaccination ongoing at Belvedere Polyclinic. Long queues characterise the vaccination exercise.
“Council is short-staffed. Over 240 nurses have left to join other organisations.”

A number of citizens criticised the council on its Twitter page saying there was no reason for the City of Harare to mourn about the departures of nurses when it is the employer, who can easily recruit some staffers to fill in the gaps.
