President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called on local authorities to reject corruption and work towards becoming models of excellence that lead with integrity and adopt innovative best practices.

Speaking to over 2,000 councillors from all 92 local authorities at the Zimbabwe Local Government Association’s “All Councillors Indaba” in Harare on November 26, Mnangagwa expressed his deep concern about corruption within local government and society at large. He stressed that those involved in corrupt activities must be held accountable and warned that no one, including local authorities, would be exempt from legal action.

Mnangagwa highlighted the crucial role of local authorities, whether urban or rural, in the governance system. He emphasized the need for unity among councils, urging them to collaborate, share experiences, and refine their policies for the benefit of Zimbabwe’s people. He urged them to ensure efficient service delivery that meets the needs of the public, with regular consultations to keep services sustainable and affordable.
