Minister Richard Moyo, the Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister for Matabeleland North, has issued a stern warning to headmen in Hope Fountain. The minister has admonished these headmen to cease the illegal sale of private land to buyers seeking residential stands. Since December last year, some headmen in the area have been accused of illegally selling private land to home seekers. This land, granted to the community by the UCCSA Church in 1981, was intended to support community members through farming activities as part of the Tamboa Community Cooperative. Despite this, allegations have emerged that headmen have sold at least 31 stands, with prices ranging from $400 to $900 USD, depending on the financial capability of the buyers.
