Activities of the municipal police seem to be the new cash cow for Masvingo City Council with the section raising US$12 820 in the month of September 2023 which has prompted the local authority to push for the purchase of a towing vehicle to assist in some of its operations.
According to Health, House and Environmental Services Committee minutes from council dated October 4, 2023 the section attended 1030 violations in the given month and raised the said amount.
“Consideration was given to the report of the Town Clerk on the activities of the municipal police for the month of May 2023, covering Human and Material Resources, operational activities, traffic offences, commonage patrols, vending, boom gate activities and status of ranking buses at Mucheke Bus Terminus.
“It was reported that the section attended 1 030 violations in the commonage and raised a total of US $12 820 during the month under review,” read the minutes.
Council’s intentions to purchase a towing vehicle were revealed during the first full council meeting held on October 30 by Finance and General Purposes Committee chairperson Bernard Muchokwa who said the section was raising funds that could be used to purchase the vehicle without getting into council’s coffers.
“The vehicle will be able to assist council in its operations and will be purchased from the money raised through prepaid parking as a strategic business unit and not from council’s coffers,” said Muchokwa.
The issue however was heavily debated on by other councilors who felt that a towing vehicle was not a top priority for council.
