Harare City threatens to demolish illegal houses – Story + Video

Harare City Council Acting Town Clerk, Mrs Josephine Ncube, issued a warning on Friday against illegal settlers on council land around Harare.

Ncube called on all people that invaded Crowborough, Churu and Eyestone Farms to move out on their own before action is taken. 

Council complained that human settlement can not be allowed on wastewater farm.

“There is a high risk of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentry and other water borne diseases at Crowborough,” Ncube said.

Council warned anyone interested in securing land should approach council and avoid paying to third parties.
