City officials expose each other to commission

HARARE mayor Jacob Mafume has accused council officials and councillors of breaching the Official Secrets Act by leaking important documents to the public in a bid to expose each other to the commission of inquiry.

Mafume made the remarks while addressing a full council meeting at Town House yesterday saying council’s systems had become porous, with important documents being leaked to the Press and commission.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa last month appointed a commission of inquiry led by retired judge Justice Maphios Cheda to investigate the City of Harare’s management and council for a period starting from 2017.
