Chiredzi Town Council (CTC) chairperson Cllr Gibson Hwende has urged residents to avoid dumping waste materials at undesignated places, a development which has seen the mushrooming of illegal dumping spots in town.
Hwende said residents in Chiredzi should make sure that they keep a safe environment avoiding dumping waste at unauthorized places saying litter provides a safe haven for breeding of germs which causes diseases like cholera.
“As council we urge residents to practice high levels of hygiene and not to dump litter on undesignated sites.
“Litter is haven for cholera especially during the rainy season. Let us keep THE CHIREDZI WE WANT clean,” said Hwende.
Addressing various stakeholders who included council employees, residents and business community during a clean-up campaign in Tshovani high density suburb which ran from October 6 to 8, Hwende said they had managed to clean and clear a number of illegal dumpsites in the surbub.
“We cleaned and cleared illegal dumpsites in ward 8 in Chiredzi,” said Hwende.
On October 7, 2021, teams comprising council officials and workers, the public cleared and cleaned Wards 3 and 8 before cleaning Wards 5 and 6.
Three wards, 1, 2 and 8 were cleaned on October 8.
The campaign was initiated by the local authority in an effort to raise awareness in the community about safe disposal of waste.
Council received a donation of 100 liters of fuel for use during the clean-up exercise from Chiredzi West MP Farai Musikavanhu while Trade Code Company owned by Chiredzi Bussiness Development Association (LOBDA) Chairperson Venancio Kurauone provided Lorries and caterpillars to remove piles of rubbish from illegal dumpsites.
