Engineer Mukaratirwa inherited the role of Acting Town Clerk during a time when Masvingo ha erratic supplies and spiking water supply costs.
It is under his tenure as Acting Town Clerk that City of Masvingo has resolved that additional water reservoirs be constructed on the Hillside escarpment to supplement water supply.
Aside from water woes the City is in dire need of innovative revenue creation and collection methods to improve the Town House’s efficiency in other service delivery areas like garbage collection and road maintenance.
His engagement efforts with local Residents Associations and other stakeholders have brought about great collaborative results during early days of the COVID-19 scourge.
As Town Clerk, Engineer Mukaratirwa had already earned plaudits for engendering professionalism at town house and moving to improve revenue collection by boosting the city’s vehicle fleet.
