The government plans to open new offices across neighborhood suburbs to speed up the title deeds program. People living in packed city areas will soon find it easier to submit their information. Justice Minister Ziyambi talked about this when lawmakers asked him how the program was moving forward. He explained they started with Epworth first to learn the best ways to help homeowners.
President Mnangagwa began this project back in 2023 to help people protect their homes. Many families lived in places that weren't officially recognized as proper housing areas. The title deed papers give them legal rights to their property that nobody can take away. These important documents make sure everyone knows exactly who legally lives where.
"We felt excited at the beginning because we thought everything would happen fast," Minister Ziyambi told the National Assembly. However, the team found out that giving someone a title deed requires careful checking. They discovered that property documents must clearly show who has rights to each piece of land. This careful process takes much more time than they first expected.
Minister Ziyambi mentioned that Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe stressed the importance of following each step correctly. They need to check all information thoroughly before handing out any official papers. The team learned valuable lessons from their first attempts in Epworth, where many residents still wait for their documents. Once they fix the current problems, they can spread the program to other packed neighborhoods throughout Zimbabwe.
