The homes were flooded last year after water was trapped by recently-constructed Harare Sunshine Bazaar mall. The ZHRC ruled that the city of Harare had > “failed to exercise due diligence and supervise construction of the structure.” In the event that the HCC is unwilling to pay the compensation, the affected households would be referred to lawyers for legal action. ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
