The Zimbabwean government is expanding its Presidential Title Deeds Programme to include high-density suburbs such as Glen View and Budiriro in Harare, and Cowdray Park in Bulawayo. This significant property ownership reform aims to grant formal legal ownership to thousands of homeowners who currently occupy residential properties without full legal recognition of their rights.
Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi confirmed that the government will apply the regularisation model previously used in Epworth to these new areas. The process involves identifying legitimate occupants, issuing them offer letters, and subsequently granting them title deeds. This initiative is expected to provide homeowners with greater security of tenure and enable them to unlock the economic value of their properties through legally recognised ownership.
