The seven-member Commission of Inquiry into the sale of urban land which was sworn in at the beginning of this month will begin its hearings on Monday, 19 February.
The commission is headed by Justice Tendai Uchena and is expected to complete its work within 12 months.
Its terms of reference are:
Land barons, some of whom were senior Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front officials had turned into land barons and were allocating land haphazardly including in wetlands and areas reserved for churches or recreation.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa says his administration is going to carry out the long overdue land audit and will repossess farms from those with more than one and downsize those that are too big.
It is also going to issue 99-year leases regardless of colour, instead of offer letters which were subject to the whims of the Lands Minister.
