Also billed for Sunday
31 July are three ward level “Meet the Candidates Series” meetings where
aspiring councillors in ward 11, ward 10 and ward 21 will get an opportunity to
outline their policies and promises to residents.
The “Meet the
Candidates Series” brings together aspiring Members of Parliament and
Councillors to explain to the residents of Bulawayo what they have to offer if
they win elections. The meetings also provide a platform for residents to
question the aspiring officials on critical issues such as service delivery and
policy issues. The meetings are being held as part of BPRA’s quest to create a
culture of accountability and engagement in governance in order to ensure
effective service delivery and pro-people policies.
