Zimbabwe has stopped giving out permits for new housing projects. This action aims to fight land barons who take over state property meant for national projects. These crooks trick people looking for homes and steal their money by selling plots on government land they don't actually control.

The housing minister, Soda Zhemu, discussed how serious this problem has become and urged citizens to avoid these land barons completely. The government needs time to fix current illegal settlements before it starts giving out new permits again. It can't solve existing problems if new ones keep popping up.

This pause helps ensure everyone follows proper planning laws. The government created a single office where people could get building plans approved, simplifying the process. Around 65,000 title deeds could go to residents in places like Epworth and Chitungwiza, where illegal housing exists because of these land schemes.

These steps should bring order back to housing and protect honest citizens from scams. The government wants to make current settlements legal before allowing any new development. This strategy safeguards state land and helps prevent future illegal building by dishonest operators who prey on desperate home seekers.
