HARARE City Council mayor, Adv Jacob Mafume says more demolitions are scheduled to take place as the local authority ups the ante to clean up the City.
Speaking this week , the Harare City’s mayor said demolition orders are currently being processed in a bid aimed at cleansing the Sunshine City.
“We are working with government on the court orders. Demolitions should be done in an orderly manner but at the same time we are saying people should be compliant with the country’s laws.
“We have people who have built houses where children are supposed to play. If we create a city like that, our children will not be happy.
“We have reported the land barons to police and we are waiting for their arrest. Yes, if there are those who get to be regularised, they should be cleared.”
Sources at Town House say there are 144 applicants which are set to be regularised according to some council resolutions.
One of the projects, Tafara Pay Schemes led by Everson Luni has complied with council by-laws for town planning purposes.
These include paying application fees, circulations, Zesa, surveying fees and Environment Management Agency and sewer costs.It was heard in court recently that the scheme applied for regularisation and council accepted its application.
