Interrogate water billing system

City of Mutare water billing system is fraught with irregularities and possible corruption syndicates. Surely, how can I get an average bill of $3 000 only to be handed a $14 000 bill for the month of December only. Even if camels resided at my place I am confident I would not get such an outrageous amount for a home in a high density suburb.

The same guys who gave me this abnormal December bill have given me a $4 000 bill for January, marking a return to normalcy.

When I asked about this abnormality, they insisted that its correct, perhaps there is an underground leakage.

What surprises me now is that the leakage only occurred in December like Christmas and now it’s over!

When residents are reluctant to pay these local authorities, at times it is because of these acts of daylight robbery, thievery and debauchery. — Citizen

Performance contracts way to go

Ministers signing Performance Contracts before the President is an excellent initiative from HE. All Government officials must be made accountable. Accountability is an integral part of the development process. It must be a norm for all civil servants. Most importantly, the performance reviews must be carried out and result made public. — M.Gore, Mutasa.

When the teacher, pupil and parent relationship exist, a better community is built and ultimately a greater nation. Parents should also be involved in teachers’ motivation, they spend the whole day taking care of our children while we work. Let’s join hands in making a better tomorrow for our children. — Farai Maphosa

May Mutare City Council re-mark the pedestrian crossing line at Muesum. This time may you use a paint that will last longer. You are putting young school pupils at risk of being overrun by vehicles — Concerned parent
