The Bulawayo City Council has identified and condemned over 40 dilapidated buildings in the city centre since January, issuing owners with notices to rectify the identified defects in compliance with council by laws or risk possible closure.
The local authority's senior public relations officer, Mrs Nesisa Mpofu said it was highly likely that the figure could increase as it was an on going exercise by the council's building inspectorate.
She said the local authority has also noted a problem where most of the buildings in the city did not have any wheelchair ramps hence they had started an exercise where they ensure that all properties in the city have these facilities.
Some of the condemned buildings include Armona Mansions located at the intersection of Robert Mugabe Way and Fourth Avenue, Chrystal at the corner of George Silundika Street and Second Avenue and Banff along Herbert Chitepo Street.
