Coalition for Market and Liberal Solutions (COMALISO) calls for an immediate stop to property demolitions carried out by Harare City Council. In a statement issued after visiting affected communities in Ruwa, COMALISO says demolitions are displacing vulnerable families and argues that authorities should halt the process pending due diligence and accountability measures.
COMALISO links the demolitions to broader concerns about land administration, including allegations of illegal or improper land allocations by “rogue” actors. Across the two reports, both outlets attribute the demand and the rationale to COMALISO and describe the group’s focus on protecting “shelter rights” and putting a safety net in place for people at risk of losing their homes.
The coverage is largely aligned in content and emphasis, with both sources citing COMALISO’s call for a pause, its insistence on accountability, and its request for safeguards for displaced households. Neither outlet provides detailed verification of the demolition causes or specific official responses in the provided text.
