Fresh Harare demolitions loom

DEMOLITION of illegally built structures in Harare is looming following the expiry of a four-month moratorium allowing affected residents to reconstruct or find alternative shelter.

The government in November last year prohibited the demolition of houses in Harare without giving a four-month notice.

This directive followed a series of demolitions in Ridgeview and Belvedere where nearly 20 houses were razed to the ground due to alleged illegal land acquisition.
