Blantyre City Council Seeks To Learn From Harare On How To Manage A Growing City

Councillor Magwinja, the deputy mayor of Malawi’s Blantyre City Council met with Harare Mayor, Councillor Bernard Manyenyeni, on Tuesday to seek advice on how to handle the problems of an expanding city. Some of the issues, Blantyre is seeking help with include the presence of vendors in the central business district, waste management, local revenue issues and infrastructural development.

After the meeting Magwinja said:

We are here to strengthen relations between Harare and Blantyre which already exist. We are also here to learn on certain issues and we want to seek knowledge from our big brothers, on how to run our local authority.

We haven’t been doing well for our rapidly growing city and waste management remains one of our main challenges. Out of all the waste generated, we manage to collect half of it. Informal areas are not very accessible and we have insufficient tools for refuse storage in these informal areas and our refuse trucks are very old.
