HARARE – Jacob Mafume has bounced back as Harare mayor in yet another episode to the city’s mayoral soap opera. Mafume was re-elected on Thursday during a council election that saw him defeat his challenger Elvis Ruzani by a vote of 22 to 15. The position became vacant when Lovejoy Chitengu, who had replaced Ian Makone, was recalled by self-styled CCC interim secretary general Sengezo Tshabangu.
