*Domboshava Fast Becoming An Informal Settlement* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?nw Domboshava is fast becoming an informal settlement due to the unregulated construction of new houses, a land-use planner has said. Many people from Harare have been acquiring stands in Domboshava and building houses without any proper planning. ---------- Latest itel A06 on Pindula: 32GB storage, 4GB RAM $69 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- According to Emaculate Hungwe, a planner, the influx of urban dwellers into Domboshava has seriously impaired the town’s layout, making it like Epworth. Said Hungwe: > The settlement pattern and settlement density in Domboshava are altered because of an increased number of migrants. > The layout of the residential spaces changed greatly from a typical rural settlement to more closely settled homesteads. > Domboshava is degenerating into an informal settlement such as Epworth. The sprouting of urban-like informal settlements is not unique to Domboshava as areas such as Goromonzi, Juru, Zvimba and Seke are experiencing the same. Reports suggest that in Domboshava, a 200 square metre stand costs in the region of US$1 500. In a typical high-density suburb in Harare, a 200 square metre stand may cost around US$7 000. The Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities, Daniel Garwe, has said under the Zimbabwe Human Settlements Policy, all informal settlements will be regularised. Said Garwe: > A regularisation protocol will be developed to standardise the process. > The concept of planned rural settlements will be piloted in resettlement areas in order to provide basic services infrastructure. > This will then be cascaded to other communal areas. *More: Open Council* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
