Temba Mliswa Drags Norton Council To Court Over Poor Service Delivery
Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa has taken Norton Council to court over alleged poor service delivery.
Mliswa noted that the local government authority was ironically religious in the collection of rates from residents.
Mliswa told Ward 10, Calfa residents this week that the subnational government was the one responsible for the management of public rates collected from the residents. He said:
You have to make court applications as that is the language which they can understand. How can they (Town Council) continue collecting rates when they are not providing water or the requisite service delivery?’
Where is the collected money going is the question because we are not seeing any improvements on the ground’.

Sewage is still there, bad roads, no water, and the bins are not being collected.
The development comes when almost all local authorities in the country have been reported to be providing poor to no services.
Subnational governments have been failing to provide basic services such as potable water, sewer reticulation, garbage collection and road maintenance.
The Norton Council has argued that the water issue was beyond its control as they get very limited volumes of the supplier, Harare City Council.
Harare City Council has attributed water shortages to power cuts, dwindling water levels in its sources and ageing infrastructure.
