Mayor Bernard Manyenyeni confirmed that the late Morgan Tsvangirai and Solomon Mujuru have been shortlisted to receive Harare City Council’s freedom of the city status.
Other prominent personalities shortlisted for the civic honour include musicians Thomas Mapfumo and Oliver Mtukudzi as well as President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He said the council was still identifying other outstanding personalities from various sectors including football, politics and religion.
Philanthropist Peter Lobel was honoured for sourcing fire-fighting tenders to several local authorities. Lobel was given the civic honour, a recognition which gives him the privilege not to pay rates at one of his properties, a free parking disc in the city as well as invitation to council functions.
