An excuse for Zanu PF’s Harare takeover bid

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed a five-member Commission of Inquiry to probe governance issues at Harare City Council since 2017.

The commission, chaired by retired judge Justice Maphios Cheda, has six months to complete the probe, although there is an option for an extension by three months. Others members of the commission are ex-Cabinet minister Lucia Matibenga, Steven Chakaipa, Norbert Phiri and Khonzani Ncube.
