Land Commission Act [Chapter 20:29]
The framework for the Zimbabwe Land Commission and the administration, disposal, settlement and use of State land.
In brief

What to look for
- The Commission has statutory functions concerning agricultural and State land.
- State-land permits, leases and allocations require their own document trail.
- A client should verify the issuing authority, current tenure document and conditions.
