Bulawayo officials rejected a fake Smart City scheme. Town Clerk Christopher Dube confirmed the council never approved residential stands in Cowdray Park, Norwood, Richmond, or Helenvale. Social media ads are pushing unauthorized land sales to unsuspecting buyers.
No subdivision permits exist for this alleged project. Private developers lack municipal authorization entirely. Dube warned that cash could vanish through unlawful transactions since the city controls all planning in those zones. Buyers must verify offers directly with authorities before paying anything.
Over 160,000 applicants sit on the housing waiting list. Decades of limited serviced land created this massive backlog. Desperate seekers face pressure from questionable sellers promising affordable plots without proper infrastructure. Land barons exploit this shortage by targeting vulnerable residents with unapproved deals.
