Renowned musician Greatman has filed a formal complaint against the City of Harare (CoH) for neglecting the needs of people with mobility disabilities.

Greatman, through his lawyer Moses Nkomo of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), has issued a two-week ultimatum for the city to ensure equal access to public and private amenities. His complaint highlights the lack of universal design features in public spaces.

Citing sections 56(3) and 83 of the Zimbabwean Constitution and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Greatman has requested key documents from the CoH.

Greatman’s proactive approach underscores the ongoing struggle for disability rights in Zimbabwe, advocating for a more equitable society. The City of Harare’s response will be closely watched as the deadline approaches.
