THE government has rejected a proposal by the Bulawayo City Council to introduce a fire levy to assist residents with no insurance cover in cases of fire.
Council came up with the proposal to introduce the levy after noting that most residents were failing to pay for services rendered by the Bulawayo Fire Brigade.
According to the latest council minutes, Acting Town Clerk Sikhangele Zhou revealed that Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Minister, Saviour Kasukuwere, had turned down their proposal.
