THE Government, through the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works, has issued a moratorium on State land allocations, with measures being put in place to enhance the administration and management of urban State land.
In a statement yesterday, the ministry said it was mandated to administer, on behalf of President Mnangagwa, urban State land, itself a finite heritage resource that was central to the national development thrust as espoused in the National Development Strategy 1 and Vision 2030.
“It is therefore imperative that an efficient and transparent system is put in place to ensure that urban State land plays a role in facilitating sustainable and functional developments,” read the statement.
“The Ministry therefore wishes to announce the imposition, with immediate effect, of a moratorium on allocation of urban State land until further notice.
“This is to allow the ministry to finalise the ongoing process of reviewing and strengthening existing policy framework and guidelines on the administration and management of urban State land.
“Stakeholders and the general public are urged to be patient while the ministry concludes this process.”
