Corrupt, unscrupulous and cunning – City of Harare land deals
I’ve just read the City of Harare’s Special Investigations Committee’s report on City of Harare’s land sales, leases and exchanges. It’s a shocking tale of corruption and abuse of power “by officials, unscrupulous business people and cunning politicians,” carried out over a period of years at the highest levels of municipal and national government.
The report implicates high profile personalities such as businessman Philip Chiyangwa, former Harare Mayor Sekesai Makwavarara and Minister of Local Government Ignatius Chombo in illegal and unauthorised deals in which they misappropriated City resources for personal gain.
As a subscriber who has read it said:
I don’t know whether the Combined Harare Residents’ Association (CHRA) or Harare Residents’ Trust (HRT) are alive, because if they were, the Harare Land Scandal would have triggered a MASSIVE piece-full [yes, I didn't get the spelling of peace wrong] uprising against the system by now. Our activism is DEAD. Check out the attached report and if you don’t cry, you’re not of this planet.
Read the report now, and send your comments to CHRA and the HRT, and cc info@kubatana.net
