Harare City Council will re-employ 1 000 general workers on six month contracts to help in the rehabilitation of roads.
According to recent minutes of the Human Resources and General Purposes Committee meeting seen by The Herald, the committee agreed that the general workers must be deployed in all wards and given targets. Part of the minutes read:
The committee considered a confidential report (August 10, 2017, circulated with the Agenda) by the acting Director of Works recommending granting authority to re-engage one thousand (1 000) contract general labourers (Grade 16) on fixed terms contracts of employment of six (6) months at a gross salary equivalent to the basic salary for Grade 16 plus transport allowance totalling $244, 48 per month. The Acting Town Clerk advised that the matter had been considered in the recent Environmental Management Committee meeting and that the acting Director of Works would report to that committee on the above proposals.
Council has contracted 340 community-based anti-litter monitors on 6 month contracts from September 6, 2017.
