Chombo reinstates Mahachi – Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo today reinstated Harare town clerk Tendai Mahachi who was suspended for three months this week by the mayor Bernard Manyenyeni for failing to provide the salary schedule for all senior council employees. Mahachi’s suspension had been welcomed by residents keen to know how much the city officials were earning following reports that Mahachi himself was earning US$37 000 a month and the top 18 officials were raking in US$500 000 a month at a time when the council could not even afford to replace street bulbs. Chombo’s action raised eyebrows as the Harare city council is run by the Movement for Democracy Change and his move was seen as condoning corruption by council officials known to be sympathetic to the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front as it was interfering with investigations.
