Hlalani kuhle/Garikai housing,ironical?

Repossession of housing stands at the Hlalani Kuhle/Garikai Housing project in Bulawayo's Cowdray Park has stopped according to the Bulawayo  Home Seekers Consortium Trust (BHSCT).The project started in 2006 when the government wanted to afford low income earners in the country cheaper housing.

In the paper,the minister of Local Government Dr Ignatius Chombo, on Wednesday ordered that the repossession of the stands should stop and that those that had been taken away from the beneficiaries be returned.He said that the beneficiaries are low income earners and that they were given about eight years to develop
