Developers’ body lobbies for statutory register to protect land buyers

The Property Developers Association of Zimbabwe has called for a law compelling all land and property developers to register with a statutory body to restore public confidence in the property sector and protect land buyers from fraud.

Interim chairperson Arnold Khanda made the call on Wednesday in response to a recent government directive for local authorities to demolish all illegal structures in their areas of jurisdiction.

The move has left several families without shelter or a source of livelihood.
