Jane Mlambo| A Harare resident, Alice Kasinamunda will today approach police to lodge a complaint against City of Harare officials who abused cholera funds donated by Econet Zimbabwe.
According to Community Water Alliance (CWA), Kasinamunda will make the report at Harare Central Police Station against Philemon Rwafa who is City of Harare, Procurement and Stores Officer, Smart Mhuka and Tafadzwa Reza who are both Buyers as well as Tawanda Marange, a Cadex Clerk.
Early this week, Econet Founder, Strive Masiyiwa fumed about City officials who inflated the price of gloves from $3 to $65 on the back of a $10 million donation from the leading telecommunication company.
Econet’s donation follows government declaration of a state of emergency and a call for support from corporates and well wishers to help address the outbreak.
Acting Town Clerk, Hosiah Chisango has since suspended the four from work to pave way for full investigations into the matter.
Harare is battling to contain the deadly cholera outbreak that has so far claimed 37 lives from the more than 5000 reported cases.
