Kadzombe revealed that these properties had been allocated by the council in 2017 without the necessary due diligence. These stands were situated in a location that blocked access to a school for local residents and students. However, there’s good news for Prophet T Freddy and the five other Glenview residents whose homes were demolished. Deputy Mayor Kadzombe announced that they will be relocated to new stands, and their houses will be rebuilt at no cost to them.

Kadzombe also extended her apologies for any inconvenience this situation may have caused to the Glenview community. Her complete statement is provided below:

We have received enquiries about why Prophet T Freddy’s house and 5 others were demolished today. This was a result of a residents petition as these houses were allocated by council without doing due diligence on a road in 2017 and it blocked school children and other residents, who had to use a longer and dangerous route to go to school and work etc. The affected families are in the process of being reallocated new stands and their houses constructed and materials supplied by the City of Harare builders at no cost to the victims.

Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused to the Glenview community and the affected families.
