Without justifying the illegal positioning of any buildings, I find that city authorities and the Central govt. both do not have their houses in order. Yet when it comes to making our people suffer through demolitions, they are quite efficient. 'Illegal structures'? Namibia and South Africa have these galore, yet their economies and governance are miles ahead of us. Main electric power and water are connected by the authorities therein. It shocked me when I 1st saw it, vis-à-vis our 'British' standards. (Yet we claim we emancipated ourselves from these ruthless colonisers!!) But I quickly understood that this is a gesture by accountable/democratic governments that are saying to their people, 'Sorry we did not provide infrastructure quick enough.' As it is in our Zim, there are so many versions of the law. Those that favour the high and mighty who, by the way never have their illegal activities including structures being censored. And those laws that apply to me and other expendable people who have to queue in hospitals and other 'public' amenities like which are non-functional. Root cause: We suffer from 'hangover' laws (inherited from our colonisers) and neo-colonial ones penned by our leaders as they go.
