Ongoing demolitions by local authorities are both right and wrong. - TopicsExpress

Ongoing demolitions by local authorities are both right and wrong. They are right but ill-timed and ill-advised. They are wrong because the people who were at the forefront of selling the illegal stands are being protected by the victims of the demolitions. It is common cause that former and current councillors in Chitungwiza would camp outside the council offices and assist residents to secure residential, charging US$5 000 and give the council around US$500, pocketing the remainder. These councillors and some of the senior officials, still in the council, would give desperate home seekers hope that the allocations and sales had been conducted above board. One of their key strategies was that once one had purchased a stand, one was urged to construct within the shortest possible time so that it becomes extremely difficult to take down the properties, given the Constitution of Zimbabwe. Firstly, let me say, the first people who must be made to account for this current situation are senior council officials and former councillors and Members of Parliament in Chitungwiza, for their involvement in the selling of these illegal stands to desperate residents. It is wrong to evict people and demolish their properties. But should these corrupt politicians loudly condemn the demolitions yet they have not returned the money they illegally pocketed through illegal sales of Chitungwiza council land? I think the Government and other interested stakeholders must interview the victims and find out how they secured their stands- the sellers must not be allowed to continue their evil deeds. Then fast forward to the demolitions, who authorised these actions when colleagues at Chitrest had secured a High Court order interdicting the Chitungwiza Municipality from carrying out the demolitions? The breach of the Constitution continues because of actors who think they are above the law. The victims and the authorities are to blame. The solution is to regularise these properties and charge the victims all the money that must be charged for land developments. Alternatively, the Chitungwiza Municipality should service alternative land and properly allocate residents, using the housing waiting list, and those on illegally acquired land. Town planners might help in sorting out this mess, but demolitions are inhuman, undemocratic and highly insensitive. Let us critically examine the situation.

This is pretty long-winded, but bear with me here. Maybe some of
