Moving beyond rhetoric to action

The City of Masvingo is transitioning to an integrated solid waste management system with an engineered landfill at Cambria farm and establishment of an infectious diseases hospital.

Councillors and Council management this week toured a waste management site at Geo Pomona and City of Harare’s Beatrice Road Infectious Diseases Hospital to get an insightful and informative initiative allowing a better understanding of key aspects of public health, environmental sustainability, and waste management.

The tour was vital for identifying the processes, and encouraging collaborative solutions with key expects.

The tour aimed to educate Councillors and Council officials about waste management practices and how hospitals handle infectious diseases, focusing on the importance of sanitation, public health, and environmental responsibility.

Geo Pomona Waste Management CEO and chairman, Dr. Dilesh Nguwaya led the tour together with the City of Masvingo’s Chamber Secretary, Mr Vitalis Shonhai.
