Tafadzwa Muguti
HARARE metropolitan residents have rejected to recognise the office of the Development Coordinator (PDC) headed by Tafadzwa Muguti saying its establishment was against the country’s Constitution.
On Monday, Muguti called for a meeting with the provincial development committee, which was attended by government officials, local councils’ town clerks, and other stakeholders from Harare metropolitan.
Muguti, who chaired the meeting, said the gathering was “the beginning of devolution.”
“Harare is the pulse of the nation, this is the beginning of devolution,” he told those in attendance.
“The first task is unbundling ministry duties to the province. I will be meeting captains of industry to hear what they will be able to contribute to our provincial economic plan. Everything we do as Harare is under the spotlight, anyone who flies into Zimbabwe meets us first.”

Leaked letters addressed to Chitungwiza Town Council bosses have exposed the government’s involvement in the demolition of homes and other illegal structures in Harare and the dormitory town with the hand of Local Government minister July Moyo coming out prominently.
Provincial development coordinator (PDC) Tafadzwa Muguti is also exposed as an influential figure in a complex scheme involving the ruling party Zanu PF whose hidden hand controls Chitungwiza council’s day-to-day operations.
Chitungwiza Town Council recently announced plans to demolish about 11 000 illegal structures, which include residential and commercial properties.
