Hwange Local Board Explores Waste-to-Energy Opportunities at Geo Pomona
Hwange Local Board Town Secretary, Pastor Ndumiso Mdlalose, was part of various municipal delegations that visited the Geo Pomona Waste Management Site in Harare, alongside the Permanent Secretary for Local Government and Public Works, Engineer Tafadzwa Muguti.
The visit provided an opportunity for the delegation to tour the facility, gain insights into its waste management operations, and explore potential partnerships in waste-to-energy initiatives.
The engagement highlighted the importance of innovative and sustainable approaches to waste management, particularly in turning waste into valuable resources while promoting environmental protection and cleaner communities.
For Hwange Local Board, such engagements present an opportunity to learn from existing initiatives, exchange knowledge, and explore practical solutions that could contribute to improved waste management systems and sustainable urban development.
The exploration of waste-to-energy partnerships also underscores the potential of transforming waste into a resource that can support energy generation, environmental sustainability, and broader community development goals.
Hwange Local Board remains committed to exploring innovative approaches that promote cleaner surroundings, sustainable service delivery, and environmentally responsible urban development.

Leading by Example for a Cleaner Hwange
As has become the norm, Hwange Local Board Town Secretary, Pastor Ndumiso Mdlalose, joined residents and other stakeholders in picking up litter as part of the National Clean-Up Day.
The clean-up exercise is more than just collecting waste-it is about taking responsibility for our surroundings and encouraging everyone to play their part in keeping our communities clean, safe and healthy.
By getting involved on the ground, local leaders continue to demonstrate that a clean environment is a shared responsibility. Every piece of litter picked up, every bin used and every clean space maintained contributes to a better Hwange.
Let’s keep the spirit of National Clean-Up Day alive every day. A clean Hwange starts with all of us!
