The Current Wave Of Price Increases To Go Down

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has declared a State of Disaster for Harare Metropolitan Province due to the deplorable state of cleanliness in the province.

The Environmental Management Agency (EMA) has been tasked with coordinating the removal of waste dumps that have been accumulating in business and residential areas in the province.

The notice for the declaration of a state of disaster in Harare Metropolitan Province has been published in the Government Gazette and reads in part:

Civil Protection (Declaration of State of Disaster: Emergency Solid Waste Management Harare Metropolitan Province) Notice, 2023

Declaration of State of disaster

2. As a result of the failure to properly manage waste within the Harare Metropolitan Province, a state of disaster exists in that province with effect from the promulgation of this declaration.

Conferment of powers and duties by Minister on Minister of Environment and Agency

3. It is hereby notified, in terms of section 38 of the Act that the Minister has-

(a) for the purpose of this declaration, conferred his powers in terms of the Act upon the Minister responsible for Environment, including any power or duty conferred or imposed by or in terms of this Act upon the area civil protection officer for the civil protection area concerned;

(b) for the purpose of paragraph (a), authorised the Minister responsible for Environment to confer upon the Agency, and every employee of the Agency designated by it for that purpose, any power or duty conferred or imposed upon an area civil protection officer or other person by or in terms of this Act.

Remedial work to be done

4. For public information it is projected that, to ensure emergency solid waste management is undertaken efficiently during the period that this declaration is in force, the Agency shall-

(a) co-ordinate the use of materials and services made available by local authorities within the Harare Metropolitan Province during the state of disaster;

(b) endeavour to remove illegal solid waste dump, by means of a range of activities including mapping, quantification and clearing of illegal waste dumps and direct local authorities within the Harare Metropolitan Province to establish appropriately designed and designated waste transfer stations;
