“I am very excited about my election as the new Harare Junior Mayor and to carry on with my school’s dominance, I do not know what the other councillors see in us but to me it all goes to our school principles which make us responsible students,” he said.

The Junior Mayor went on to say that his first port of call will be to raise the Harare Junior Council banner higher.

“As incoming team of councillors we do not have time to waste, we have work to do so we will start from where the outgoing left from. Our mandate we always to serve the rights of the child and be the voice of the voiceless from every corner of Harare,” he added.
