RESIDENTS in Bulawayo’s oldest suburb, Makokoba have accused the Bulawayo City Council (BCC) of neglecting their cases to have ownership of the houses left behind by their parents.
Residents in the suburb in question as well as in Iminyela and Mabutweni have been accusing the local authority of refusing to give them title deeds for the houses they have occupied for the past five decades.
Following residents’ concerns, BCC Town Clerk, Christopher Dube last month issued a notice clarifying that leasehold properties cannot be inherited.
