President Mnangagwa yesterday said he would soon expose
land barons that fleeced desperate home-seekers especially in urban areas. The
President said this while addressing thousands of zanu-pf supporters at
Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) yesterday. He said Government’s new
policy would prioritise construction of multi-story apartments to conserve
land.
“In our urban areas housing is a problem. We have people
that are building everywhere without roads, water and sewer systems and other
requisite infrastructure. That is now a thing of the past. That was done by the
G40, it is now all over. Land barons you are warned we have a commission into
that and we now have a commission of inquiry looking into that and from the
preliminary report they have produced we now know who these land barons are
although they have not yet finished their work,” said President Mnangagwa.
He said he would name and shame the land barons like he had
done with individuals and organisations that had externalised foreign currency.
“Just like I did with those externalised foreign currency,
I am going to expose the land barons. I was discussing with the RBZ governor
the other day and he said so far $850 million had been returned to the country
so I am saying to the land barons what happened to these ones will happen to
you,” said President Mnangagwa.
He also said Government was now promoting construction of
high rise buildings.
