Chitungwiza council says a viral house demolition warning is old, not a fresh order. The document spread online and left people in Zengeza and Seke worried about their homes. But the municipality insists it has made no recent move to tear down houses.
Turns out, the paper has been around for years. Council spokesman Tafadzwa Kachiko traced it to an earlier notice and said residents had no reason to treat it as fresh news. He also made clear that any real demolition must go through the legal steps first.
And there is a simple way to avoid such scares. Kachiko wants locals to check the council's verified pages for real updates rather than trust every post that pops up online. Sharing claims without checking them first, he warned, can cause needless fear.
