Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Domboshava is fast becoming an informal settlement due to the unregulated construction of new houses, a land-use planner has said.<\/p>\n

Many people from Harare have been acquiring stands in Domboshava and building houses without any proper planning.<\/p>\n

According to Emaculate Hungwe, a planner, the influx of urban dwellers into Domboshava has seriously impaired the town\u2019s layout, making it like Epworth. Said Hungwe:<\/p>\n

The settlement pattern and settlement density in Domboshava are altered because of an increased number of migrants.<\/p>\n

The layout of the residential spaces changed greatly from a typical rural settlement to more closely settled homesteads.<\/p>\n

Domboshava is degenerating into an informal settlement such as Epworth.<\/p>\n

The sprouting of urban-like informal settlements is not unique to Domboshava as areas such as Goromonzi, Juru, Zvimba and Seke are experiencing the same.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest that in Domboshava, a 200 square metre stand costs in the region of US$1 500.<\/p>\n

In a typical high-density suburb in Harare, a 200 square metre stand may cost around US$7 000.<\/p>\n

The Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities, Daniel Garwe, has said under the Zimbabwe Human Settlements Policy, all informal settlements will be regularised. Said Garwe:<\/p>\n

A regularisation protocol will be developed to standardise the process.<\/p>\n

The concept of planned rural settlements will be piloted in resettlement areas in order to provide basic services infrastructure.<\/p>\n

This will then be cascaded to other communal areas.<\/p>\n
