Service/Career
On 19 August 2021, Future Titora beat MDC Alliance councillor Charles Juta to land the Kwekwe mayoral post. The mayoral post had become vacant following the dismissal of Angeline Kasipo, who was recalled along with her deputy Melody Chingarande. Titora polled six votes ahead of Juta's four in the second round of elections after the two candidates had each polled five votes in the first round.[2]
Her first election to council was in 2013 before she was re-elected in 2018.
2021 Mayor Elected
In August 2021, MDC-T councillor for Ward 2 in Kwekwe Future Titora was elected the new mayor of Kwekwe, while Ward 3 Pikurai Msipa (MDC Alliance) was elected deputy mayor. This was after a rerun caused by a deadlock after she received the same number of votes as MDC Alliance Ward 7 councillor Charles Juta.
The mayoral and deputy mayor posts fell vacant following the recall of Angeline Kasipo (Ward 10) and Melody Chingarande (Ward 5) respectively, by the MDC T, together with Ward 12 councillor Washington Moyo.
Titora, Kwekwe`s second successive female mayor, appealed to fellow Councillors prioritise service delivery, desist from “bickering” and “spearhead development within the city’. [3]
