Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Chinhoyi Municipality has given property developers a further six months to wind up the use of farm bricks in construction before they are banned.<\/p>\n

The local authority had resolved to ban the use of farm bricks in construction effective 1 January 2022 but yesterday extended the deadline to 30 June.<\/p>\n

The Council outlawed the manufacture of farms for the massive environmental degradation they have caused in Chinhoyi and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

A full council meeting held Tuesday decided to postpone the implementation of the new measures to allow those who had already sourced farm bricks to use them.<\/p>\n

Chinhoyi mayor, Garikai Dendera confirmed the development to NewZimbabwe.com on Tuesday. He said:<\/p>\n

We took heed of an outcry from residents who felt the council had given short notice on the farm bricks ban, hence we resolved to effectively ban their use in June.<\/p>\n

So, all those who had started construction of buildings using farm bricks can complete them within this grace period because thereafter they will be banned.<\/p>\n

Council also took the decision to ban farm bricks in order to stop deforestation as brick moulders use trees to fire kilns or ovens.<\/p>\n

Mutare City Council and other municipalities across the country have banned the use of farm bricks for the construction of commercial, industrial and residential structures.<\/p>\n

This is in compliance with directives from the Environmental Management Agency (EMA).<\/p>\n
