250 homes destroyed in December alone- ZPP

The Zimbabwe Peace Project has revealed that in the month of December 2015 alone 250 houses were destroyed in Harare.

"The month of December also saw the scourge of relentless demolitions persisting. Some 250 homes were razed to the ground by the Harare City Council in December in Budiriro and Aspindale areas leaving hundreds of citizens homeless and stranded. Clearly central and local government is failing in its bid to enable citizens to get secure housing. Yet no compensation is forthcoming from any quarter and many more remain vulnerable across the country in a nation where lawlessness has reigned supreme in the parceling out of the pieces of land," reported ZPP.

"With all these violations, a few million dollar questions beg answers: where is the protection of citizens supposed to come from? If that protection does not reside in the Constitution, where then?"
