Ministry of Local Government and Public Works (Zimbabwe):

The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works handles most state land transactions, and is responsible for incorporation of state land, as well as oversight of its’ development up the “settlement hierarchy”?(i.e. from communal land to business centers, from business centers to rural service centers, from rural service centers to growth points, from growth points to towns, and, from towns to the apex settlement of cities [see the treatment, “Urban Development in Zimbabwe: A human perspective. Theoretical and Empirical Researches in Urban Management”, by Munzwa K.M & Jonga W, 2010;)

Said ministry manages the transfer of state land to private entities through incorporation to local authorities, housing co-operatives (at least once-upon-a-time), property developers, as well as oversees/manages government buildings.

Last but not least, Ministry of Local Government and Public Works is mandated to administer the Regional Town and Country Planning Act [Chapter 29:12] , Zimbabwe’s apex legislation pertaining to town-planning, which, is the metaphorical foundation from which the superstructure of real estate is erected.
