Masvingo City Council hogged the limelight after scooping four accolades at Zimbabwe CEO Network Awards held on February 25, 2022 in Harare.
Mayor Cllr Collen Maboke was the outstanding Mayor winner, Town Clerk Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa won an award of outstanding Town Clerk, Public Relations Officer Ashleigh Jinjika won as the outstanding Public Relations officer and Masvingo City won in the Best Performing Local Authority category.
Maboke said that he would like to appreciate the work done by councillors and said team work is the secret behind the success.
“I would like to thank councilors whom I work with, as I do not work alone. Without these councillors, we would not have won this award, the reason being that we also got an award as City of Masvingo. We continue to encourage each other to work hard for the benefit of residents.
“I was happy when Minister July Moyo came here on Rujeko Secondary School official opening when he commented that we are doing a good job on rehabilitation of roads, building of a clinic which we want to open this month, a school and upgrading a landfill,” said Maboke.
Masvingo Town Clerk Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa said he felt honored to achieve such recognition.
“We feel honoured as an institution and individuals for the recognition. It is a challenge to us to continue being focused and offering best services to the residents and ratepayers of Masvingo,” said Mukaratirwa.
