Mafume Orders Drug Tests After Pavement Fury
iHarare reports that Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume is pushing for mandatory drug testing of council workers after public outrage over shoddy pavement work on First Street. This sudden policy move is a direct attempt to deflect blame for systemic corruption and incompetence onto individual workers. It shifts attention away from procurement failures and the council's inability to manage basic urban assets. Critics view the announcement as a political distraction from the council's deeper administrative failings.
