Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Occupants of BMC houses in Makokoba, have refused to vacate the Bulawayo City Council (BCC)-owned houses demanding that the local government authority gives them a 10-year eviction notice.<\/p>\n

BCC had issued a recent three-month notice which was going to affect over 70 tenants.<\/p>\n

The Combined Bulawayo Residents Association (CBRA), BMC residents and the Makokoba Peace Committee petitioned the local authority to withdraw the notice.<\/p>\n

CBRA representative Charles Nyama said the BCC housing and community service department recently called for an engagement between the involved parties following the residents\u2019 petition. Nyama said:<\/p>\n

After shifting blame between two parties, the housing department then agreed to further engagement after a 10-year eviction notice proposal was tabled in council because it was not easy to reverse an eviction decision.<\/p>\n

The parties also agreed that evicted residents be moved to Vumbu and Thokozani Flats, which are also council houses.<\/p>\n

Ward 7 councillor Shadreck Sibanda said BMC residents would not be evicted. He told NewsDay Zimbabwe:<\/p>\n

We apologise as councillors for taking such a big decision without considering the welfare of residents. I promise that the BMC residents will not be evicted. I am going to defend this issue in the council chambers. There are so many reasons why the decision needs to be reversed besides the welfare of BMC residents.<\/p>\n

BMC residents, who preferred not to be named, said such critical agreements should be on paper and not verbal.<\/p>\n
