Ecocash Holdings halt waste collection services citing Harare & Geo Pomona’s Project

By Kudakwashe Pembere

ECOCASH Holdings, a subsidiargy of Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has stopped its waste collection services after finding it difficult to operate due to the controversial Harare City Council (HCC) and Geo Pomona Waste Management (Private) Limited’s waste to energy project.

The City of Harare concluded a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) Joint Venture Agreement with Geogenix B.V. on the 9th of March 2022, with a lifespan of thirty (30) years.

The deal raised eyebrows with Harare North parliamentarian Allan Markham arguing several procedures were flouted among them the Local Government Minister July Moyo chairing a meeting to expedite the granting of Geo Pomona whose country director is Delish Nguwaya of the infamous Draxgate scandal.

If Harare fails to dispose of enough waste, it will be fined while cancellation of the contract will see Nguwaya’s company walking away with over US$3 million dollars.

It is against this background that Ecocash Holdings is suspending its services.
