Glen View, Harare

The community was established under a rent to buy housing scheme where home owners would receive their title deeds after twenty-five years.

It is located in the South-Western parts of Zimbabwe's Capital City, at a distance of 14 km from Harare's Central Business District to the North-East in the wetlands plateau of Manyame River catchment area.

Glen View is slowly encroaching towards wetlands due to bad governance by local authorities and land barons.

Glen View's informal sectors play the larger part of investment in the community though the unforeseen hinders progress.

Among other incidents, in 2011 the police went in to break-up an opposition party (MDC-T) rally, resulting in a riot, and the death of a policeman.
