The proposed 2027 Budget could increase household debt for @CityofBulawayo, with vulnerable families in high-density suburbs bearing the burden. @byopra programs manager Claude Phuti @claudephuti highlights that the budget is an "elitist approach."

Good morning humans✨
I always talk about the girls fees program I run, and the plan to setup rural libraries in 🇿🇼. To create value for your contributions, I worked on a digital, illustrated kids story that draws from my childhood. It comes with printable activity sheets that help kids think about their place in the world. This is one of the 7 part series on citizenship and purpose that doing for kids. .
Price is set at $5 with the option to pay more. 50% of net proceeds goes to the rural schools initiatives I mentioned.

For those in countries where Visa card payments are a nightmare, the site will show you alternative payment options, including ecocash for Zimbabweans.
Do share with friends, and buy for different kids🙏🏾

2. The robust system of transparency & framework of accountability should be the backbone of the reform for local governance legislature and architecture. Otherwise we will export neo-patrimonial corruption from the political space, & import it within the administrative offices.
Is it time to rethink the role of Councillors considering the continued allegations on corruption and inefficiencies flagged by the AG's reports annually within local authorities across Zimbabwe? Have a read of my second opinion piece

Proposed 2027 @CityofBulawayo Budget public consultations are upon us, and Bulawayo residents cannot afford to sit this one out.
Residents have a right to ask questions, raise priorities and influence how their city’s resources are used.
