Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere has disclosed that his ministry will soon roll out an ambitious "Own Your Own Home" scheme targeting 128 000 housing units by 2018.
In a speech read on his behalf by the ministry's housing director Lexton Kuwanda at the launch of Galloway Estate second phase in Norton on Saturday, Kasukuwere said the project would bring together stakeholders in the sector including financial institutions.
The Norton housing project is being developed by Chivi Rural District Council chairperson Killer Zivhu's Zimbabwe Amalgamated Housing Association (ZAHA).
Meanwhile, Kasukuwere has ordered the Harare City Council's businesses to be audited since only one seems reasonably profitable.
These businesses include the city's farms, nursery, real estate (Rufaro Marketing Property Asset), hospitality and parks.
Among its business ventures, only City Parking has been declaring reasonable dividends to council.
Sources in the ministry, however, said Minister Kasukuwere was concerned that money from such ventures was being abused since it was not being channelled to the city's coffers.
