BINDURA Municipality has appointed former Mazowe assistant district co-ordinator, Willard
Masimba, as its new Chamber Secretary.
Bindura Town Clerk, Evelyn Madziire, described Masimba as the “right person” for the job
considering his qualifications, performance, experience and exposure to local government tenets.
Masimba holds a BSc Honours in Public Administration, MBA in Public Sector Management, with
distinction from NUST, MSc in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, Certificate in Monitoring
and Evaluation and another certificate in Community Development, among others.
He joined the municipality of Bindura on September 20 after it had gone for nearly two years
without a Chamber Secretary.
With his vast local government experience, we are bound to benefit a lot. Even in areas of good
corporate governance. We believe he will be leading us – he is the right man for the job though he is
still serving his probation.”
Masimba has also been with Chegutu and Chinhoyi municipality as one of the directors. He also
served in the Office of the President and Cabinet recently.
His experience in governance spans over 15 years.
He also worked with Cee Tee Business Consultants as a training consultant.
“I had 15 years in government where l served in different capacities in the local government ministry
in the capacity building of councils, devolution, transformative strategic thinking, risk assessments
analysis and emergency preparedness.
“My immediate task is to accelerate the development and effective implementation of municipal by-
laws to ensure increased revenue collection, revamping the municipal disaster management and
preparedness section commonly known as fire and rescue, job evaluation and staff rationalisation to
ensure staff is correctly placed and motivated among others as maybe assigned by the Town Clerk
from time to time,” he said no.
Bindura Municipality is also yet to fill in the positions of finance and housing directors, currently
occupied by acting managers.
