Mafume bounces back as Harare Mayor

Ward 17 Councillor Jacob Mafume has made a dramatic return as Mayor of the Metropolis of Harare.

He turns into the third mayor in six months, following in-fighting within the opposition CCC celebration.

Contentious CCC Interim Secretary Common Sengezo Tshabangu created the vacancies when recalled Ian Makone and his successor as mayor Lovejoy Chitengu after the August 21 election

Mafume has defeated Elvis Ruzani 22-15. Ruzani is reported as a alternative for CCC chief Nelson Chamisa. Thus the appointment of Mafume is a seen an inner insurrection.
