Hopley, also known as Hopley Farm, is a suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe.
History
Hopley was created in 2005 following Operation Murambatsvina. [2] At the time, Hopley was used as temporary accommodation for those displaced; Human rights workers and journalists were unable to gain access. [3] The following year, Amnesty International and Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights reported that there was no infrastructure and inhabitants lacked basic amenities. [1]
People live either on land supplied by the government or council, or on a squatted informal settlement. [2] As of 2015, the suburb had an estimated population of nearly 35,000 and in 2018, it was 60,000. [4] [1] In 2021, water shortages forced residents to drink from a well in a graveyard. [5]
