Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The City of Bulawayo has availed more than 5 000 residential stands in various suburbs with another 5 000 outlined in its master plan.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s second-largest city currently has a housing backlog which stands at 125 000.<\/p>\n

BCC director of housing and community services, Dictor Khumalo, said the local authority has availed a total of 5 263 residential stands in several suburbs across the city.<\/p>\n

Khumalo said this on Thursday while giving an update on service delivery during a media briefing.<\/p>\n

He said 1 681 stands have been availed to land developers through the expressions of interest (EOI) tenders and servicing of some of them is nearing completion.<\/p>\n

Council has also outlined 5 390 residential stands in its layout plans in line with the respective master plan and local plans to produce stands to meet the demand for the various uses.<\/p>\n

The master plan has been adopted by the council and has gone through a public exhibition with a consultant attending to comments received from the public.<\/p>\n

The document will be submitted to Local Government and Public Works Minister July Moyo for approval. Said Khumalo:<\/p>\n

All the stands that are being planned and targeted to be developed are part of council efforts to address Bulawayo\u2019s housing backlog sitting at 125 000.<\/p>\n

We have an annual target of availing at least 3 000 stands, which is the minimum standard to meet the national target.<\/p>\n
