Harare City Council has asked residents, who recently bought stands from them, to come with their papers for verification.
This has been triggered by some offer letters which city officials claim were not issued by their officers.
Town Clerk Hosiah Chisango said:
“It has come to our attention that there are several offer letters that are being generated and offered without the authority of council.
“The majority of these offer letters are being backdated before being fraudulently offered to unsuspecting home-seekers who are then instructed to settle on wetlands and land meant for other purposes.”
He said the council was calling on individuals, who recently ‘acquired’ stands from the City of Harare, to come forward with their offer letters and proof of payment to the Town Clerk’s office for verification.
“Please note that Council will not be held responsible for any offer letters or allocations that were and are still being fraudulently acquired.”
