Speaking at a full city council meeting on Wednesday, Bulawayo Mayor Thaba Moyo said the situation at Ngozi Mine was dire.
“The government should assist these people as they are living in extremely difficult conditions with no shelter, water or basic services. With winter approaching, the government should quickly intervene,” said Moyo.
During commemorations for World Habitat day this year, squatters at the Ngozi Mine appealed to the government to save their lives. They complained they were denied government services because they did not have legitimate physical addresses. This led to women giving birth at home and children of primary-school age being taught by school drop outs.
Murambatsina was indeed social genocide, and to imagine that we could be this naive and let this go by unpanished!!!!
Its time to let those who trample on others feel the heat come election time!!
