Zimbabwe’s property sector is being transformed by digital platforms that address long-standing challenges such as fraud, limited market information and low transparency.
Local PropTech platform Saekue reflects a growing shift towards technology-driven property transactions, aligning with Government’s broader digitalisation agenda under Vision 2030.
Industry experts say digital platforms are improving transparency through verified information, helping buyers and investors make informed decisions.
Saekue co-founder and managing director Mr Harmony Mazai said trust is critical in property transactions.
“Our focus is on creating a platform where buyers and investors can access verified information and make decisions with greater confidence,” he said.
Beyond listings, Saekue provides details on water availability, solar readiness, security features, neighbourhood insights and property documentation status.
Digital property platforms are also expected to boost diaspora investment by reducing information gaps and concerns over fraud.
“Many Zimbabweans in the diaspora want to invest back home, but uncertainty often discourages them. Digital platforms can help remove those barriers,” said Mr Mazai.
The platform also offers guidance on title deeds, property transfers and scam prevention, helping improve financial literacy.
Analysts say the growth of property technology is helping modernise Zimbabwe’s real estate sector by improving efficiency, transparency and investor confidence.
