By Own Correspondent| Former Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede who wanted to buy an estate in Vainona for horticultural purposes has been left hanging after council suspended all land sales until the country’s financial situation stabilises, it has emerged.

The motion for the suspension of the land sales, was moved by Mabelreign councillor Denford Ngadziore and was agreed upon by the city fathers.

Mayor Herbert Gomba also agreed with the motion and advised him that the acting chamber secretary Charles Kandemiri had already implemented the suspension.

Gomba said the resolution to stop the sales was exacerbated by the need for council to get value for the commodity they were selling.

Said Gomba:

“We are looking at the leases and sale of council property and land to see whether it is prudent for us to sell them in this particular environment.

While we are reviewing the rates, we have decided that we should stop sales and proceed to lease so that we will be able to review the rates.

This is done to protect the interests of council and to ensure that it gets value from its properties.”- Daily News
