BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) is losing potential revenue from leasing out its buildings as tenants have deserted dilapidated properties. BY SILAS NKALA This was revealed in the latest council minutes in which city fathers expressed concern over the increase in the number of tenants deserting business premises in the city. Bulawayo mayor Solomon Mguni, during a full council meeting, said council was losing revenue because tenants were snubbing its dilapidated buildings. “The premises were lying idle and now are dilapidated,” Mguni said. He said the estates department should spruce up the properties so that they were able to lure people to occupy them. This, Mguni said, would bring revenue to council. He applauded government for availing grants to refurbish Thorngrove Hospital. “Councillor Silas Chigora made reference to Ascot Race Course which has been lying idle for a long time now. “He (Councillor Chigora) noted with concern that the property had been tendered out but had no takers. “He suggested that if the premises had no takers, other options should be considered to have the premises occupied. “He said a policy should be adopted to consider expression of interest if the tender system failed to yield results,” Mguni said. Councillor Felix Mhaka added that the Ascot Race Course had been tendered out but the premises had been surrendered back to council because of rental issues. “The rentals did not match with the state of the property (dilapidated). “He said the department should work on a timeframe and evaluate whether there had been any progress or hindrances. “Councillor Mlandu Ncube (deputy mayor) also said council had previously passed a resolution that premises which had no takers should be retendered,” the minutes read. “The assistant director of housing and community services Thabani Ncube said the COVID-19 pandemic had hindered productivity,” he said. Council did not disclose how much it was losing in potential revenue from the dilapidated properties, but a survey by Southern Eye showed that there were many properties which were unoccupied because of their sorry state. BCC in October announced a proposed supplementary budget for the remaining months of year 2020 of $2,85 billion at the same time proposing a $17,1 billion 2021 budget.
IN-FORM Zimbabwean golfer, Robson Chinhoi continued with his run winning the Ugandan Open Championships with 10 strokes ahead of his nearest rival Deo Akope in Kampala. BY FREEMAN MAKOPA It has been a fruitful two months for Chinhoi, who also won the second leg of the Safari Tour Golf Series at the par 72 Royal Nairobi Golf Club in Kenya and walked away with the top prize at the weekend following a brilliant round of five-under-par 67 in the closing round. Chinhoi shot past his rival with an impressive five under par 67 and finished all rounds with a total of 15 under par 273, while his opponent Akope posted three under par 69 for a total of five under par 283 to settle for the second prize. Zimbabwe Professional golfers Association (ZPGA) president Tongoona Charamba hailed the performance of the team, adding that corporates should support local talent. “It was great watching and playing in the same field with our fellow Zimbabwean who became the eventual winner on a record score of -15. Obviously, the inspiration is from how the other guys do in the events we play in and when we spoke about it during our practice rounds, we agreed that one of us should win. “As ZPGA, we are so proud of Robson Chinhoi for his exploits and hardworking, great talent that he is. I seriously ask our corporates to support him and others to get to the next level. We can't have such talent going to waste. The boy belongs to the biggest league. Chinhoi, Nyasha Muyambo and I made the cut. The other Zimbabweans who took part were Liberty Gumisa, Pride Sembo, Farayi Chitengwa and Morton Kombayi. We went better as a country as I competed and finished second last year at Victoria Serena,” he said.” This was a tough encounter with the defending champion Madalitso Muthiya from Zambia, finishing fourth after two under par 70, which could give him a total of two under par 286, a shot better than another top Uganda player Philip Kasozi. In addition, six-time winner Dismas Indiza from Kenya finished on level par total of 288 after a 71 in the final round to finish in sixth place. lFollow Freeman on Twitter @freemanmakopa
