Grace Mugabe warn local authorities

First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe who is accused of grabbing land in Mazowe on Tuesday she is sad to see  local authorities demolishing houses built on  illegal land yet they turn a blind eye during construction.

She said local authorities only become visibly when demolishing  the completed structures.

"There are questions we are asking and we want answers.

"We want to get the real story, not only the chorus that people built on undesignated land. I saw this happening and you all saw it. Inga huku nembudzi dzedu topfigira wani, what about a person?"

 "You see someone building his or her house from the foundation level to window and roof level until completion, then when they are about to move in, someone comes and says it's an illegal structure.

Several houses have been destroyed in various suburbs in Harare and other towns, with nothing happening to those who superintend over the mess.

"Why don't we go deeper, investigate issues, how it all started, how that piece of land was allocated to that particular person for him to say I own that land and the onus is on me to ensure development," Dr Mugabe said.

Early this year, Grace renewed her bid to evict villagers at Arnold Farm in Mazowe to expand her business empire following disclosures that the Lands ministry officials this week started parcelling the farm to pave way for the First Family.

Grace, who has acquired vast tracts of land in Mazowe, intends to build Robert Mugabe hospitals, university and secondary school to add to the dairy farm, children's home and elite primary school.
