Government officials will implement comprehensive measures against land corruption and unauthorized settlements across Zimbabwe's expanding urban areas. The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works developed the Urban State Land Management Policy after widespread concerns about land barons and inadequate regulation emerged. This framework responds directly to Justice Uchena Commission findings that exposed serious flaws in current land administration systems.

The new policy establishes six core areas for reform. These areas cover governance improvements, technology integration, better procedures, stronger regulations, infrastructure development, and enhanced planning compliance. Officials plan to create specialized land management offices at regional levels with dedicated task forces coordinating implementation efforts.

Harare officials estimate more than 100,000 irregular houses exist within the capital area. Housing officer Edgar Dzehonye recently testified that councillors enable land barons through corrupt partnerships. The policy aims to restore public trust by ensuring fair land allocation and transparent municipal services that support Vision 2030 development targets.
