"Mupedzanhamo Market Is In Need Of Major Renovations" - Muguti
Harare Metropolitan Province secretary Tafadzwa Muguti has said the Mupedzanhamo market needs major renovations before it is reopened.
Mupedzanhamo was closed in September following violent clashes between suspected ZANU PF and Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) space barons as they fought to control the marketing spaces.
At least two people died and 13 others were arrested during the skirmishes.
There has been the politicisation of major markets in Harare Metropolitan province, NewsDay reported citing a statement issued by Muguti on Friday. He is quoted as saying:
It’s a well-known fact that all major markets in Harare Metropolitan Province have been taken over by politicised space barons who constantly abuse their positions in their respective parties and social standing in the society. This has affected markets such as Glen View Furniture Complex, Jambanja in Chitungwiza, Coca-Cola Corner and Siyaso, amongst others.”

The respective ministries have begun planning for the upgrade, renovations and construction of more markets for our traders. The market is in need of major renovations which include ablution facilities, water, and sewer infrastructure upgrade, perimeter wall repairs, remarking trading spaces, adequate parking and electrical installations, to name a few.
Muguti said that on Tuesday an inter-ministerial technical committee visited the Mupedzanhamo to ascertain the extent of damage to infrastructure and its suitability to be reopened before the festive season.
Harare City Council initially intended to re-open the Mupedzanhamo market in October.
