It's with a heavy heart that I announce the tragic loss of two city employees who passed away while on duty in Athlone. The incident occurred when they were working on a manhole and unfortunately succumbed to gas suffocation.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families, colleagues, and loved ones of the deceased. The City of Gweru values the lives of its employees and residents, and we take the safety of our workers very seriously.
We will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident to ensure that measures are put in place to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.We appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult time.
Last week, another employee sustained injuries while performing duties related to pipe layering. The incident occured due to an unforeseen soil roll back, which had been previously excavated.
