The
City
of
Harare
is
owed
more
than
ZiG5
billion
due
to
unpaid
rates,
according
to
Acting
Finance
Director
Godfrey
Kusangaya.
Kusangaya
revealed
this
information
during
the
launch
of
a
new
effort
to
collect
overdue
payments
in
Harare
on
Monday
morning.
He
pointed
out
that,
unlike
in
the
past
when
businesses
owed
most
of
the
money,
now
a
large
portion
of
the
debt
is
from
residents.
Said
Kusangaya:
Council
is
being
owed
a
lot
of
money
out
there,
we
are
being
owed
over
ZiG5
billion
and
this
amount
is
not
a
joke.Unlike
in
the
past,
a
huge
amount
of
the
money
is
coming
from
residents
who
are
not
paying
their
rates
and
bills.This
time
residents
owe
us
around
ZiG3
billion
whereas
the
remainder
is
coming
from
commerce
and
industry.
He
said
that
there
are
several
key
revenue
streams
where
the
council
needs
to
improve
its
collection
efforts
to
address
the
growing
debt.
