Bulawayo’s Ward 23 Councillor, Solomon Mguni, has been elected the new mayor for Zimbabwe’s second largest city after garnering 17 votes, beating his contender Norman Hlabano of Ward 26, who polled 12 votes during the elections held at the Council Chambers Friday.

The city of Bulawayo has retained 45 percent of councillors in the new Council which came into office after the watershed July 30 harmonised elections, which saw Zimbabweans turn out in their numbers to elect new leaders for the next five years.

The Zimbabwe Development Democracy Trust (ZDDT), which enjoys a Memorandum of Understanding with Bulawayo City Council, had the privilege of being invited to witness the swearing-in of the city’s new councillors.
