Harare golf courses ‘under siege’ as housing plans spark outrage

HARARE residents are objecting to a proposal to convert a golf course in Hatfield to a residential area, claiming golf courses across the capital are under siege.

The objection follows a government notice announcing plans to transform the recreational space to 17 low-density residential stands, each measuring 2 000 square metres.

The dispute has reignited concerns over the steady loss of Harare’s green spaces.
