We are pleased that @GweruC communicates with its residents. Also it is critical that @GweruC join forces with critical stakeholders to alleviate water challenges that pose a health risk for Gweru residents. @giz_gmbh @UNICEFZIMBABWE @NedbankZimbabwe @WHH_Zimbabwe @DiakoniaAfrica

Residents need to pay their #Bills (even the little we have) since we owe @GweruC ZWL12 Billion. When we pay our bills, we are able to access better #water supply and waste management services. When the welfare of @GweruC workers is looked after, they are motivated to deliver.💯 – at Midlands, Zimbabwe

During the successful launch of the Enhancing Citizen Participation Project at Vungu Rural. Residents were enthused to form their own service delivery committee that will advocate for ways that can initiate accountability and transparency on service delivery processes. – at Harare, Zimbabwe

Local authorities in Zimbabwe are responsible for representing and overseeing the affairs of citizens in rural areas, as mandated by their position. Providing effective services is crucial for the progress of communities and must be the primary concern for every local government.

Secondly, the smart meters are not reflecting the amount of water remaining, which would have been paid by the resident. Thirdly, most households are being double billed by @GweruC meaning (charges from the removed old meter in RTGs and new smart meter in USD). #water

@GweruC has begun a pilot project on water prepaid meters on 80 households of Gweru (Lundi, Ivene & Southdowns') as efforts to curb estimation on water billing. However, reliable sources confirm that, when residents taps on the smart meter, the water is not coming out.

@GweruC Health Superintendent, Abisha Makombe informing residents on current waste management issues at a ward based meeting in Gweru recently hosted by @GRRA054 @DiakoniaAfrica @SwedeninZW – at Midlands, Zimbabwe

Its disappointing to see the low level of citizen participation in local governance issues at a consultation held today considering how @GweruC is including VAT on the current budget that is burdensome and continued poor service delivery (water supply, refuse collection & roads).

Gweru residents have rejected council management’s recommendation to bill residents in USD🇺🇸 to keep pace with the continued increase of inflation, at a recently held consultative meeting. Most residents also demanded that @GweruC conduct proper consultations in all 18 wards.

Two vehicles collided today at an intersection on Robert Mugabe Way 7th Street due to absence of traffic lights that have gone for 10 years without been fixed. Gweru residents demand @GweruC to fix the matter as quickly as possible. #restoreGwerupride

Residents of Gweru have demanded that, @GweruC respond to the concerns of the people. @DiakoniaAfrica @SwedeninZW @NDI @Uchirra8
