Group Of Bulawayo Councillors Reportedly Pushing For The Recall Of Mayor David Coltart

A group of Bulawayo councillors in Zimbabwe are reportedly pushing for the recall of Mayor David Coltart, who is known for his strong stance against corruption. These councillors are allegedly unhappy with Coltart’s zero tolerance towards corruption and are now collaborating with Sengezo Tshabangu to have him removed from office.

Tshabangu, who claims to be the interim secretary general of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has been recalling Members of Parliament (MPs) and councillors from the party, much to the delight of the ruling ZANU PF party.

The councillors who are seeking Coltart’s recall have allegedly been making various foolish accusations against him, including claims of heavy-handedness and dictatorship. It is believed that they are working in conjunction with ZANU PF to achieve their objective.

ZANU PF councillor Nokuthula Sibanda neither confirmed nor denied the alleged plan to remove Mayor David Coltart. However, she told the Independent that the councillors were dissatisfied with Coltart for not consulting them. Sibanda stated that they would approach Coltart to discuss their concerns. She was quoted as saying:

At first he engaged the Egodini project contractor Terracotta Pvt Ltd alone and after we complained we managed to meet them as councillors.

He also goes on business trips without consulting us. He does not want to go with us for workshops, each time we ask him to do so he always tells us that he is a busy man.

Last time when he went on leave he was supposed to leave the finance chairman acting  on his behalf as per council resolution but he chose to appoint councillor Ntombizodwa Khumalo to remain in an acting capacity as a mayor.

Coltart acknowledged that some councillors were unhappy with his leadership style. He explained that the situation had worsened in recent weeks because of his busy schedule and frequent travels. He told the Independent that he had not had a Saturday at home since October 14 and that his wife had also not seen much of him. However, he denied the accusations of not consulting with his fellow councillors. He added:

As regards me not consulting that is not altogether true. Before I went overseas in October I applied in a full council meeting for leave of absence which was granted.

Sources suggest that these councillors are pursuing the interests of a former MDC A MP for Bulawayo who used his position as a councillor to acquire large plots of land and lucrative tenders. Now, they are attempting to shield these questionable acquisitions from scrutiny by the council.

David Coltart, a former Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, was elected as Mayor after the elections in August 2023. However, there are suggestions that Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the secretary-general of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), may try to recall Coltart. There is an account on X formerly Twitter in Tshabangu’s name, but we cannot confirm its authenticity. The account implies that Tshabangu may want to recall Coltart because he believes Coltart was forced on the voters by CCC leader Nelson Chamisa.

Coltart is just doing his job and by acting against corruption he leaves no room for some looters of tax payers money, hence making them angry. How can these so called councilors rally for his recall because he's not giving them room for corruption hahahaa Coltart is people favorite with people at heart. these councilor's they only want room to misuse tax payers money and have unnecessary workshops. Those claims are made by people who have no room to over spend tax payers money yet the one standing at the goal post is defending the people. Kuchemera kuhenda ku trip and not business the Mayor his worship is cancelling over spending of tax payers money. Well done Coltart how I wish all those in high offices could do like him

Coltart is blocking the new councillors from enjoying their newly found feeding trough by having a zero tolerance stance to corruction at BCC. Mind u these councillors primary objective is self enrichment- standing for residence is a far far remote objective unlike Coltart.
