Gweru moves to expose land barons

GWERU City Council has embarked on an forensic audit to identify illegal land deals in a development that is likely to expose land barons.

The local authority yesterday issued a notice to people who bought stands in the city in the period 2009 to date and have grievances to come forward and present them to the land audit team at Town House.

“City of Gweru is currently undertaking a land audit and is kindly requesting those who bought stands from Gweru City Council during the period January 2009 to date and have queries relating to the purchase of their stands to come forward and discuss the queries with the chairperson of the land audit at the Civic Centre in office number 361, second floor,” reads the notice signed by town clerk Elizabeth Gwatipedza.
