Mafume bounces back as Harare Mayor

Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume
Jacob Mafume has bounced back as Harare mayor in yet another episode to the city’s mayoral soap opera.
Mafume was re-elected on Thursday during a council election that saw him defeat his challenger Elvis Ruzani by a vote of 22 to 15.
The position became vacant when Lovejoy Chitengu, who had replaced Ian Makone, was recalled by self-styled CCC interim secretary general Sengezo Tshabangu.
Mafume was mayor between 2020 and the August 23 harmonised elections.
