Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Government official has warned Harare residents to be careful when buying residential stands as some council officials are selling stands using fake papers.<\/p>\n

Harare Province Secretary for Devolution, Tafadzwa Muguti, said there are some council officials who are corruptly issuing land offers. Said Muguti:<\/p>\n

It must be understood by now that just because someone has papers from the council does not mean that everything is legally in good standing.<\/p>\n

The majority of illegal developments in Harare and Chitungwiza have council papers which mostly were processed fraudulently.<\/p>\n

The real mess is the council officials who are corruptly issuing land offers.<\/p>\n

We will not tolerate such conduct as government.<\/p>\n

Thousands of Harare residents have lost their entire savings after being duped by land barons with supposedly genuine council papers.<\/p>\n

Most of the land barons allegedly work in cahoots with council officials to acquire fraudulent papers.<\/p>\n

The City of Harare has some of its senior managers in court on allegations of selling land illegally.<\/p>\n

Muguti added that both those who offer bribes and those who take them should be arrested for corruption.<\/p>\n
