Way forward
Certain city councils, such as those in Bulawayo and Gwanda, have shown themselves to be able
to withstand attempts at corrupt allocation of permanent structures built under OGHK.115 These
councils appear to be organised and ready to implement substantial building schemes at a
moment’s notice. The only problem is funds. The Bulawayo council indicated that they have
building brigades already in place capable of building 50 houses a week – this output could be
doubled if funds were made available.

In Harare, prosecutions of those involved in fraudulent allocations are currently under way, although apparently
too late to reverse the existing allocations: Zimbabwejournalists.com, 15 August 2006.
