President Emmerson Mnangagwa has officially launched the national clean-up campaign.
Speaking at the launch in Highfield Harare, President Mnangagwa urged local authorities to prioritise waste collection as a key function of waste management.
He said it is a duty and moral responsibility for every citizen to clean-up communities on a regular and continuous basis and that good citizenship will embrace the campaign.
President Mnangagwa further called on the media to continue raising awareness on the clean-up campaign as they have a duty to educate people on the need for a clean Zimbabwe.
The President urged the use of non-plastic tools as plastic has proven to be the biggest polluter of the environment.
He took a swipe at those who deliberately throw litter everywhere, saying the law will soon catch up with them.
