The Public Service Association and the Zimbabwe Local Government Association will soon sign a memorandum of understanding to provide housing and farming stands for civil servants.
ZILGA president Nimrod Chiminya said all consultations and agreements had been made between the two parties and an official signing ceremony would be held soon.
"The local authorities will provide housing, commercial and farming stands which ill develop civil servants. When you do house development, you identify an estate of about 1 000 hectares for residential stands that will be subdivided to a number of sizes depending on the financial might of the sponsor.
"The local authorities have not been servicing land for housing because of financial constraints but the PSA has come up with a way where they can mobilise funds from the beneficiaries and their respective sponsors," said Chiminya.
"This is not a new scheme, we will also want to capitalise so that local authorities will resume servicing stands for the people."
