The Zimbabwe National Organisation Associations and Residents Trust (ZNOART) has urged Harare City Council and Chitungwiza Town Council to stop allocating housing stands on wetlands.
ZNOART chairperson, Shalvar Chikomba, said allocating stands in wetlands results in environmental degradation. H-Metro quoted Chikomba as saying:
<blockquote>
Wetlands are essential for the environment, providing habitats for wildlife, purifying water, and protecting against floods and droughts.
It is disheartening that Councillors and senior management have sold and invaded our wetlands and open spaces, so we call for an immediate end to this.
The recent case in which Councillors allocated themselves commercial and industrial land and shared it among themselves, their companies and their cronies, with the connivance of Council officials, is the first flash point.
By now, we expected them to have done the honourable thing, that is to resign.
</blockquote>
The Ramsar Convention defines wetlands as “ecosystems where water is the primary factor controlling the environment and the associated plant and animal life.”
In line with its Ramsar Convention commitments, Zimbabwe has identified 7 sites as major national wetlands.
These are Lake Chivero, Cleveland Dam, Middle Zambezi / Mana Pools, Victoria Falls National Park, Chinhoyi Caves, Driefontein Grasslands, and Monavale Vlei.

Residents' Trust Urges Council To Preserve Wetlands

The government has resolved to remove all boreholes that were drilled illegally in wetlands in Harare Metropolitan Province.
In a statement issued this Wednesday, the Office of the Secretary of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province said all forms of construction in wetlands will be stopped forthwith.
The decision followed a meeting that was held between the Secretary of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province, Tafadzwa Muguti, the Harare Wetlands Trust and Harare residents representatives on Tuesday the 14 March 2023.
The meeting was convened to discuss the growing invasion of wetlands and illegal water harvesting being facilitated by some council and government officials. Part of the statement reads:
<blockquote>
Members of the public are advised that all wetlands in Harare Metropolitan Province have since been gazetted by the Environmental Management Agency through a Cabinet directive. As such no construction or agricultural activities are allowed in wetlands.
Zimbabwe is a signatory to several global conventions on the protection of wetlands and so as a Provincial Government structure, we shall not tolerate any form of wetland invasion.
It has been noted that water extraction permits are being issued for drilling boreholes and harvesting natural spring water in wetlands.
There is also a growing concern over local authorities who are applying for a change of land use from wetlands to commercial or residential stands.
The Environmental Management Agency has been advised not to issue any full or partial authorisations to developers and local authorities on wetlands.
</blockquote>
Harare residents have been urged to partner EMA to erect fences to protect wetlands as well as report all illegal activities directly to Muguti’s offices on 0242 762 988.

Govt Vows To Destroy Boreholes Drilled On Wetlands

Harare Metropolitan Province has launched a 45-day operation to demolish illegal structures on wetlands in and around the capital.
The campaign, which coincided with the onset of the rainy season, is expected to run until December 15.
The operation code-named “Operation Zero Tolerance to Environmental Crimes” will be conducted in Harare, Chitungwiza, Ruwa, and Epworth with the assistance of the police.
Each local authority will be expected to provide both material and human resources for the operation.
Harare Metropolitan Provincial Affairs and Devolution Permanent Secretary, Tafadzwa Muguti, said:
<blockquote>
We are aware that our councils are actively involved in parcelling out land in wetlands.
All housing developments in wetlands shall be stopped, with all cases of purchase or award of such land being reported to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission.
</blockquote>
Muguti said institutions, shop owners, companies, vendors, public transporters, actual passengers, and the general citizenry who violate statutory requirements will be targeted.
Meanwhile, Chitungwiza acting town clerk, Evangelista Machona, said the blitz will be focusing on four environmental issues. She said in a notice:
<blockquote>
The operation is a response to concerns raised by the Presidium over increased environmental crimes in Harare province.
The operation is specifically focusing on four environmental issues; solid waste management, invasion of wetlands, illegal sand abstraction and illegal brick-moulding and emissions.
</blockquote>
Machona said Chitungwiza Municipality had been asked to provide 80 municipal police officers, 10 tipper trucks, three front-end loaders, five compactors and fuel for the exercise. | <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/structures-on-wetlands-to-be-demolished/">H-Metro</a>

Structures On Wetlands In Harare Province To Be Demolished

<blockquote>TAKE ACTION NOW TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT WETLANDS IN ZIMBABWE
ZIMBABWE Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) joins the world today, 2 February 2020, in celebrating World Wetlands Day under the theme ‘Wetlands and Biodiversity With the increasing threats of climate change, Zimbabwe’s wetlands are critical to the survival of our ecosystems and water source.
Wetlands act as a carbon sink, mitigating climate change, and sustaining high biodiversity of animal and plant life. Wetlands are like giant sponges, absorbing water, which would otherwise be lost as run-off, preventing flooding, siltation and erosion.
The water absorbed throughout the rainy season is slowly released in the dry season into the stream and river systems, finding its way into major supply dams, such as Chivero and Manyame. Without the wetlands, these dams would quickly run dry in winter months and poor rainy seasons.
The wetlands also filter and purify the groundwater before it enters the water supply, protecting against disease and toxins.
The degradation and loss of wetlands have increased siltation and pollution of dams. Zimbabwe is a state party to the Ramsar Convention (the Convention on Wetlands of Intentional Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat, Ramsar, 1971).
The state has designated seven wetlands as Ramsar Sites of international importance (including Monavale wetland, Victoria Falls, Lake Chivero and Chinhoyi Caves among others).
Although there are domestic legal provisions for the protection of wetlands in the Environmental Management Act, the country is facing unprecedented levels of development and degradation of wetlands.
In the face of this crisis, ZLHR with its partners Harare Wetlands Trust has been working on a sustained campaign to protect wetlands through litigation and advocacy efforts.
Several favourable judgments and out of court settlements have been finalised to protect core wetlands, such as the University of Zimbabwe wetland, Monavale Ramsar site, Marlborough wetland, Rhodesville wetland and Boundary Road wetland.
In response to its advocacy efforts, ZLHR welcomes the recent responses from Zimbabwean authorities, who have started to acknowledge the extent of the wetlands crisis and the need for reform.
However, ZLHR notes that without urgent action, the wetlands, their biodiversity, their critical ecosystem services and our water source will be irrevocably impacted.
On this World Wetlands Day, ZLHR calls on the authorities, particularly the Parliament of Zimbabwe, the Minister of Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry, the Environmental Management Agency, the City of Harare, and indeed all local authorities across the country, to honour the commitments that have been made, and to urgently implement measures for the protection of wetlands including:
<ul>
<li>Expert mapping of wetlands</li>
<li>Gazetting of wetlands to prohibit development on wetlands except in the most exceptional circumstances;</li>
<li>Managing and restoring wetlands; and;</li>
<li>Establishing nature reserves on wetlands.</li>
</ul>
These recommendations are made in accordance with Zimbabwe’s obligations as a state party to the Ramsar Convention, and in terms of section 4 of the Environmental Management Act, and sections 73 and 77 of the Constitution, to protect the environment and our water resources for present and future generations,

Human Rights Lawyers' Statement On World Wetlands Day {Full Text}

Zimbabwean engineers have urged the government to stop construction on wetlands, a development which has become rampant in Harare.
Speaking to the media, Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers’ information communication technology division chairman Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi said:
<blockquote>The construction and development is so rampant that all ventilation and wetland areas in the likes of Mabelreign and Sundridge have all been sold out and under some kind of construction development.
As engineers, we are hereby requesting the government, local authorities and construction firms to immediately stop all developments and constructions that are taking place on all wetlands and strategic open spaces.</blockquote>
This comes as Harare Metropolitan Affairs minister Oliver Chidawu has warned “illegal” settlers to voluntarily move away from wetlands or risk the destruction of their properties.
