KENNAN PROPERTIES Have A New Roof Over Their Head text by Michael Nott | photos by Structure and Design As well as finding new homes for countless Zimbabweans over the years Kennan Properties have recently created a new home for themselves. A family business, founded in 2004, their original home for many years was situated at 63 Central Avenue in the heart of Harare’s CBD.
