Abel Zhakata, Senior Reporter

MUTARE City Council revenue collection is in a mess as close to half of all the properties in the city are non-existent on the local authority’s billing system.

This means that more than 20 000 families or companies are either living or operating for free in the urban municipality for they have not paid a cent for services and other deliverables.

The shocking figures were revealed by the Town Clerk r Joshua Maligwa this morning.

He said council was prejudiced millions of dollars over the years.
