Rufaro Marketing acting chief executive officer Mr Daniel Mutiwadirwa said 50 outlets have been leased to date, with the remaining 36 still to get takers.
“Fifty outlets have already been leased to different companies and individuals while 36 outlets are still available,” he said.
The company received council approval earlier this year to lease out all 86 outlets and 39 of them had been approved for leasing to TN Holdings, Delta and PSMI.
Mr Mutiwadirwa said six outlets had been offered to retrenchees under an empowerment programme that saw 27 former employees being granted the use of the beerhalls for free as part of their retrenchment packages.
The company sent its remaining 269 workers on forced leave pending their transfer to Harare City Council early this month.
“Harare City Council is still in the process of looking at how it can absorb 254 of the 269 employees in different departments according to their capabilities while the remaining 15 will receive their retrenchment packages,” he said.
Mr Mutiwadirwa said a full council meeting would be held before the employees are transferred to Harare City Council by November.
