Man blames council for damaged house

Marumane visited The Monitor offices and revealed that had it not been for the inefficiency and negligence of the City Council he would still be living in the house which he rents from Amos Chube. "The landlord registered to have the tree cut by the Council about three months ago, but they never came although we paid the Council to provide the service," he said.

According to Marumane, the landlord decided not to cut the tree himself as he was concerned about the possibility of destroying the power lines and communication cables. The owner of the plot then decided to ask for assistance from Council, which is better equipped to handle such jobs.
