Land Commission (Gazetted Land) Compensation) (Repeal) Regulations, 2024

The Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development has repealed the Land Commission (Gazetted Land) (Disposal in Lieu of Compensation) Regulations, 2020 (S.I. 62 of 2020).

That is the whole instrument. Those 2020 regulations set up the mechanism by which land could be disposed of to a person instead of paying them compensation for acquired land; that mechanism is now gone, and this instrument does not replace it with anything.

Because the repealing instrument does not reproduce the repealed regulations, it does not say what happens to disposals already made or applications already in the pipeline under S.I. 62 of 2020. Anyone with a pending claim should take that question up with the Zimbabwe Land Commission rather than assume the position from this text.

Two drafting slips are on the face of the instrument. The citation clause names the regulations "…(Repeal) Regulations, 2023" although they were made and gazetted in 2024, and the Gazette index title drops the words "Disposal in Lieu of" and carries a stray bracket. No commencement date is stated; the Gazette date is 26 July 2024.
