Clueless MDC Alliance principal, Tendai Biti has been castigated by social media users following his tweet that Government is responsible for Cholera outbreak.
On his twitter page, Biti posted that, “It is totally unacceptable that 38 years after independence, citizens are still dying from cholera, typhoid and dysentery. With the crisis of legitimacy arresting this Banana Republic, the situation will get worse. We refuse to recognize illegality.”
Responding to Biti`s tweet, The Herald editor, Caesar Zvayi tweeted, “Can someone pass on to Tendai Biti that MDC, in all its guises, has been running the affairs of Harare since 2000! Enough on this posturing.”
Another netizen metro-musallad responded, “If you are really mature enough to understand and to lead the citizens, this is not the time of blaming but to provide ideas and solutions. You said #Godisinit so why are you still fostering negativity to reality. Be a man Mr Biti. On this platform we should be busy sharing ideas to build our economy.”
The MDC has been running the urban authorities in the country for over 17 years. At one point former Harare Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni admitted failure in the running of the cities.
Biti`s sentiments are not justified as MDC local authorities are responsible for day to day running of council business including council budgets and projects. It is their mandate as council to provide clean and safe water to ratepayers using revenue collections. They are also responsible for garbage collection, roads maintenance and providing health care facilities among other services.
Prior to the 30 July 2018 harmonised elections, President Mnangagwa urged the electorate to vote for competent and trustworthy councillors, unfortunately the same crop of corrupt and useless MDC Alliance councillors were re-elected and nothing will change regarding development unless government intervenes.
To date, the death toll from the Cholera outbreak in Harare`s high-density`s suburbs of Glen View and Budiriro has risen to 20, with health officials yesterday quarantining and decommissioning all possible sources of the disease.
