Gweru promises land audit

GWERU mayor Charles Chikozho has assured residents that council will embark on a land audit, following revelations that some people had been allocated stands at undesignated areas.

Chikozho was responding to concerns raised by residents associations of alleged corrupt land deals in the city, while at a consultation meeting held on Monday at Town House.

Gweru Residents and Ratepayers Association (GRRA) chairperson, Cornelia Selipiwe said: “We note with concern that some residents were given stands at undesignated places like open spaces and river banks.”
