Council, Government lab carry out study
Staff Reporter
Harare Water Quality Division has partnered the National Microbiological Reference Laboratory to do a study on antimicrobial resistant pathogens in Harare wastewater.
The study targets Salmonella typhi.
Identifying antimicrobial resistance pathogens is of very high medical importance as it enables the pharmaceutical industry to develop effective antimicrobials against all the pathogenic microorganisms found in the environment.
In an interview City Microbiologist Gladys Manyembere confirmed targetting Salmonella typhi. The study will deal with other pathogens of public health importance that might come out in the project.
“We are going to bring out more information on Salmonella species that we isolate from our waste water reservoirs. It is very critical to check on the antimicrobial resistance pathogens that maybe found in our aquatic environments because that is where all the waste goes to,” she said.
“We are going to utilise the results that we get from this project to contribute to the medical field particularly the pharmaceutical industry for them to develop antimicrobials that are effective to circulating pathogenic organisms that we going to find in the environment.
“This is more of a pro-active action rather than a reactive action so that we would reduce the time that is required to do an analysis in the lab using results from patients that would have been admitted in hospital. This will reduce the time of producing antibiotics when we have outbreaks,” she said.
Ms Manyembere said the study was not only local but international as the city will get international recognition as Harare Water Quality Assurance Laboratory.
She said the recognition will augur well with the city’s dream of achieving A World Class City Status.
“For the study we also got the benefit of capacitation of our laboratory. We received equipment from the National Microbiological Reference Laboratory which include desktops, glassware and other consumables worth over US$20 000.
“This collaboration comes with training so we are going to improve on our testing and competency”.

Debt collector coming
Staff Reporter
Council is engaging debt collectors for difficult clients.
The move will enhance revenue collection and ensure all service consumers contribute towards service delivery.
Council is owed more that ZWL$8 billion by Government, business and residents.
A recent special council meeting council approved the engagement of debt collectors.
Acting Finance Director Mr Livingstone Churu said only difficult customers will be pursued by debt collectors.
Said Mr Churu “Some clients are influential and non-complaint. Council might not have the necessary power to pursue them,” he said.
He said collection efficiency for the month of April 2021 was at 35 percent and the collection efficiency rate should be increased to further support service delivery issues.
Mr Churu told Council that his department was targeting at least 70 percent collection efficiency.
Council also heard that some ratepayers had not paid anything since 2013 when debts were written off.
“Therefore, Council was losing out due to late payments by clients, hence the longer council took to collect revenue would result in more losses due to the time value of money concept. The Committee enquired whether the use of a debt collector in debt management had assisted in council debt collection.
Mr Churu told council that there would not be a blanket referral of debts for debt collection as committee approval would be sought before referral of defaulters to debt collectors.
Council requested the Mr Churu to ensure that ratepayers’ bills were accurate before referring them to debt collectors.
Following discussion council authorised the engagement of debt collectors for difficult clients to unlock revenue collection.

General information

As Zimbabwe's largest or capital city, Harare is therefore the country's administrative, commercial, and communications centre. The city is set on a high-lying plateau, above the sweltering river lowlands of the Zambezi in the north and the Limpopo River in the south. It is a trade centre for to***co, maize, cotton, and citrus fruits. Manufactures include textiles, steel, and chemicals. Harare has one of the most ideal climates in the world and one of the most developed infrastructures in sub Saharan Africa. It is called "Sunshine City" because of its year-round good weather. It has many beautiful parks and gardens. The city is multi-racial and ethnic, making a rich culture of different people and languages. For a greater part of the year the sun shines on Harare from unclouded deep blue skies and the temperature remains pleasantly warm with the altitude of 1,492 metres above sea level which ensures that it remains cooler than most parts of Africa.

Traffic lights at the intersection of Samora Machel and Enterprise are not working properly. Traffic light controlling vehicles driving due south along Enterprise has shifted position such that the controlling lights is seen by both traffic along Samora due West as well those along Enterprise. There are near misses as both traffic is face a Green light. An Engineer from the dept was contacted but no response yet this has gone for weeks. A you waiting for an axxdent to to occur before you attend. Its difficult to think that all this long no council official has passed through and seen it.
