The Zimbabwe government won't give title deeds for houses built on land sold by crooked dealers. They plan to crack down on shady land deals happening across the country. Houses must sit on legal land with proper roads, water pipes, and sewers before any papers change hands. Housing Minister Zhemu Soda made this clear when talking with The Sunday Mail recently.
Some sneaky land sellers tried taking advantage of the Presidential Title Deeds Program called Kwangu/Ngakwami. This program helps regular citizens secure legal rights to their homes. Minister Soda explained they check each area carefully before handing out any ownership papers. His team works with Kwangu/Ngakwami Trust to build roads and install water systems where needed.
The government started giving out 21,000 title deeds to people who bought homes through official channels. Anyone wanting these papers should head to their district office with ID cards, payment receipts, lease agreements, and sales documents. The housing ministry prepares files and then sends them to the Deeds Office for final processing. They've made big progress in Epworth, where special field offices speed things up.
Minister Soda warned citizens not to use middlemen when seeking title deeds and urged everyone to deal directly with government offices to avoid scams. Several housing projects keep moving forward nationwide. These include finished apartments in Dzivaresekwa and new construction in Marondera, expected to be ready by early 2025. Lupane has houses almost ready for people, Siakobvu will see new homes built soon, and Mutawatawa features apartments for government workers.
The Crownlands project in Chinhoyi will create over 1,000 serviced plots for government employees. Many other housing projects continue throughout Zimbabwe as part of a major push to improve living conditions. The minister stressed that buying property through legal channels remains necessary. All these efforts aim to provide secure, affordable housing with good services for every Zimbabwean citizen.
