[ZimbabweIndependent] Chirox, owned by former Chitungwiza councillor Retired Major Brighton Chirongwe, is developing over 200 residential stands and several institutional stands of mixed density on 82 hectares of land which forms part of the remainder of St Mary’s Farm in the district of Salisbury.

The development plans for the project with stands ranging in size from 300 to 800 square metres have already been deposited and approved by the Department of Physical Planning.

While the project was endorsed by council, leading to Chitungwiza municipality director of planning Conrad Muchesa lodging the designs of the new development with the Ministry of Local Government for approval in 2012, it has emerged the land still belongs to the Anglican Church.

Anglican Diocese of Harare registrar Michael Chingore on Wednesday confirmed the Church of the Province of Central Africa (CPCA) still has title deeds to the said land.

"The remainder of St Mary’s has never been transferred to any third party and title deeds to the land are still in the CPCA’s name," Chingore said.
