By Ndatenda Njanike HUNDREDS of desperate home seekers have occupied land where Chitungwiza Town borders with the Manyame Rural Council hoping their illegal structures would soon be regularised by the council. Last month, the government said it would formalise all illegal housing settlements not built on unsuitable land like wetlands as the state moves in to sanitise an illegal settlement crisis in most urban areas created by land barons and other corrupt local council officials over the years. Taking advantage of the government’s undertaking, the sprawling town of Chitungwiza has seen in the recent weeks seen a new surge of dwellers setting up illegal structures on the boundary between the municipality and Manyame Rural Council.
