Residents petition council

BULAWAYO residents have launched a petition to push the Bulawayo City Council (BCC) to improve service delivery.

The petitioners are targeting to garner about 5 000 signatures and will then be handed over to the town clerk Christopher Dube.

One of the residents behind the petition, Lungile Ngwenya, said they started the campaign after they noted a decline in quality service delivery.

“We are instead asking for accountability, for proof that it is indeed not misuse of funds and resources that has gotten us to this extremely bad situation that we nd ourselves in as a city.”

Ngwenya said in their submission, there is a growing belief that council management are misusing funds and resources resulting in the worsening of poor service delivery.
