DELIMITATION 2022 Ref: Mount Pleasant Heights

DELIMITATION 2022 Ref: Mount Pleasant Heights
Why this petition matters
1.In 2018 we were removed from Harare's Mt Pleasant Constituency Ward 17 and placed in Mazowe South's Ward 20.
2.The effect of the transfer is that as the residents of Mt Pleasant Heights we have been disenfranchised by the simply fact that we were left without any representation in neither Harare City Council nor Mazowe Rural District council on matters of service delivery. However Harare City Council has been physically providing us service.
3.This has been so because while we pay our rates to City of Harare, we vote in ward in Mazowe South. The councillor we vote for does not represent us in the local authority where we pay our rates.
4.With the Delimitation exercise currently going on this winter, we would like to appeal to Zec to consider our plight as Residents of Mt Pleasant Heights to be returned to Harare and elect our representative from where we pay our rates and taxes.
5.If this doesn't happen, it means that until the next delimitation in 2032 Residents of Mt Pleasant Heights shall again have no representation a situation that has hounded Residents for the last 5 years
