THE MDC-led Chitungwiza Municipality is set to demolish over 11 000 properties, including houses illegally built on wetlands, railway servitudes and sewer lines, a leaked internal memo shows.
Interestingly, the targeted houses were built on stands allocated by the MDC Alliance-led council, while others were parcelled out by land barons.
Houses to be destroyed, most likely just after the end of the rainy season, were built on unsuitable land, including over sewer lines and under Zesa power lines.
This will further expose the lies of MDC Alliance leader Mr Nelson Chamisa, who recently sought to blame the Government for demolitions when he visited families whose houses were demolished in Budiriro by Harare City Council, which is also MDC-dominated.
Corruption suspects barred from councils
Herald Reporter
Local authorities have been advised not to allow those under investigation for corruption-related cases involving land to come to work, as this allows them opportunities to cover their footprints, Secretary for Local Government and Public Works Mr Zvinechimwe Churu has said.
His remarks come as the MDC-led Harare and Chitungwiza councils have allegedly been trying to reinstate suspended top officials.
The Herald understands that Harare recently reinstated town clerk Engineer Hosiah Chisango and human capital director Mr Cainos Chingombe, while Chitungwiza housing director Ms Hazel Sithole, Engineer David Duma and housing manager Alex Mukweva, are alleged to be back at work as well.
