The City of Harare Town Council has reported that it has received five vehicles from Victoria Foods, Cargo Carriers and Brown Engineering to speed up the patching-up of potholes in the city.
This is a welcome development given the current state of roads in Harare. See pothole of the year here Harare Pothole.
The city of Harare has been experiencing a lot of problems like all the other parts of the country. Financial problems due to general economic problems affecting the whole economy. Corruption which has become part of the day to day life in the country. These problems meant the council has not been able to perform it’s operations.
Hopefully the town council will put it’s house in order and improve it’s service delivery to the residents of Harare.
We welcome the initiatives of Victoria Foods, Cargo Carriers and Brown Engineering in helping the city of Harare. More private sector companies should follow this initiative and help improve infrastructure in the communities in which they operate.

Hi there, I haven’t been around for a while. Funny you have gone and written this post. The other day I was thinking about philanthropy in Zimbabwe and what sort of impact it would have if it was something that became common place.
That’s true Gerri, funny how we tend to continue focusing on the problems affecting us rather than solutions to our problems.
If only we could get more into the culture of donating to charitable causes, no matter how small. Whether money, goods and even time.
There are some doing it already but I guess we can do more.
