Zacc goes after land barons.

THE Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) has condemned the rampant theft of State and communal land by suspected land barons despite government talking tough against the vice.

Land barons linked to Zanu PF and opposition parties have been clashing with local authorities after grabbing open spaces, including wetlands, for resale to unsuspecting home-seekers.

A 2019 commission of inquiry into the sale of State land in and around urban areas unearthed massive fraud and theft of State land valued at US$3 billion by top politicians and individuals in Zanu PF.
