Bulawayo- A leading beverages company, Delta Beverages, donated street cleaning material to the City of Bulawayo. The materials include push carts, litter bins, brooms, and protective clothing. Acting Town Clerk, Mrs. Zhou, said it is a welcome gesture as street cleaners were using obsolete materials. She said they will be able to equip the 100 council cleaners with the new material. Bulawayo, the countrys cleanest city, is slowly losing the glory because litter is scattered around the city. It is the hope of residents that the donation will go a long way in the city regaining its glory once more.
