Masvingo Town Clerk Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa has been rewarded for his hard work by being named the Strategic Leader of the Year 2022 Diamond Winner at the recently held MegaFest Business Awards held on March 30, 2023.
The award was in recognition of work from January to December 2022.
Eng. Mukaratirwa said the award meant a lot to him and Masvingo City Council at large.
“The award means a lot to me as an individual, the Management team and staff at Masvingo City Council and council at large. All the strategies applied in order to achieve this award are as a result of the trust and support of colleagues.
“The award gives us energy to achieve more in terms of service delivery to the citizens of Masvingo City,” said Eng. Mukaratirwa.
Barely a year ago, Eng. Mukaratirwa also scooped another individual accolade at the Chief Executive Officers’ Network awards held in Harare alongside Mayor Collen Maboke, Ashleigh Jinjika the Public Relations Officer and then Finance Director Thandiwe Dube.
Eng. Mukaratirwa has worked tirelessly towards turning the fortunes of the local authority around since assuming the post no later than four years ago on Acting Town Clerk basis with Masvingo City having shone in service delivery issues like health provision through construction of clinics, road maintenance as well as liquid and solid waste management.
Cambria Farm landfill is among one of the projects he has overseen their progress while at the helm of the ancient city of Zimbabwe.
Masvingo has also seen an improvement in terms of water provision though of late, persistent power cuts have seen reduced flow of water to residential areas and even the Central Business District (CBD).
