By James Gwati-National Housing and Social Amenities Minister Daniel Garwe said Government will not compensate people who will be affected by another operation Murambatsvina the authorities are going to conduct in rural areas.

According to the state media, Minister Garwe said those to be affected are people whose houses were built on wetlands but affected families and will foot the expenses for the construction of the houses or will have to seek compensation from those who sold them the affected land.

“The relocation of the people that were affected by floods and those whose houses are in river banks is a matter of emergency. We are now in the process of identifying suitable land and we will come up with a plan. Once the land has been surveyed then people will be relocated to construct their own houses. The government is only providing on-site and off-site infrastructure,” he said.
