Secretary for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province Tafadzwa Muguti said that the Government will deal decisively with Harare City Council officials corruptly acquiring land and selling it to line their pockets.
Muguti was responding to a Twitter post by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Nick Mangwana.
Mangwana had alleged that CCC councillors bought land at 10 cents ($0.10) per square metre for an Industrial stand in Glaudina.
Muguti bemoaned corruption at the local authority saying graft had reached “disgusting levels.” He said:
We have been witnessing massive land sales even in wetlands. When I engaged the Mayor [Jacob Mafume] he also expressed concern.
We will get to the bottom of this and find out who did what and when. I can promise that we will deal decisively with all those who cut corners to enrich themselves.
We will not leave any stone unturned as we seek the truth. The level of corruption in the [Harare City Council] has reached exhaustion and disgusting levels.
The land is easily sold off including wetlands with no change of use. Heads will roll that I can promise.
Last week a report by The Herald claimed that CCC and MDC Alliance councillors, working in cahoots with top council officials, were buying commercial and industrial stands for as little as US$60 and reselling them at more than US$120 000.
Yes cde Muguti the CCC is the most corrupt political party in the entire history of this country. Remember they lied to people saying Nero is being attacked now he needs a bulletproof car which has thus far never materialized.

I dont remember them using tax payers money.
Also we once lost 15 billion yema diamonds 3 billion pa agriculture and some more funds in different sectors but someone with your thinking always applause when they do that. 43 years people looting tax payers money and sabotaging some developments in the economy, yet you blame CCC.
Well until we all open our eyes and see a spade as a spade that's when Zim will start to change.
Work up soldier you might have been brain washed
