The situation like he chronicled entails that some of these colleagues have been complicit in blocking the installation of an ERP system out of the fear that it was something the executive were not in support of.
When the idea was suggested the mayor of the city of Harare agreed that some executives acted as a barrier to the obtainability of the ERP system.
“Sage system routinely fails, sometimes you go for weeks without being able to record transactions.” said Mafume.
This goes to show the lack of accountability in terms of the movement of large sums of money within the city of Harare Council.
“I have tried everything to get an ERP installed but i end up being the one accused of interference…”, stated mayor Mafume. He went on to add on that most of his colleagues were unable to comprehend the sophisticated system and its significance.
