Demolitions - a Case of Stolen Human Dignity

Demolitions – a Case of Stolen Human Dignity January 15, 2021 Zimbabwe has a long but sad history of demolishing houses designated as illegal with the hallmark being the May 2005 government-led Operation Murambatsvina/Restore Order. The brutal exercise directly affected 700 000 people and 2,4 million others indirectly, according to the United Nations (UN). The urban clean-up exercise had far-reaching consequences on the populace with the UN condemning the act as a “disastrous venture” and in violation of international law. Post-2005, the urban housing demolitions have become a continuum rather than episodic. Several inhumane experiences of homes razed to the ground have been witnessed mainly in Harare and Chitungwiza for the past 15 years as desperate home-seekers stand accused of building on illegal land.
