I missed the link to your wiki page plan.
Are you importing plots or buildings?
If buildings how will you cope with the 2,200+ buildings already mapped?
Have you considered the use of Open Location Code for addresses? OSMand
supports this.
Thanks John

Dear OSM community,
I am from Zimbabwe and I’m working with the Local Authority in Kariba
Town (a small town in the West of the country). The Local Authority
would like to launch an app reliant on OSM data. The app is for
reporting local issues and users will geolocate issues before
submitting a form. Zimbabwe does not have a great street address
system and most streets in Kariba are not officially named. Most
houses do not have street numbers or street names/addresses. However,
all houses have got what is known as a “Stand Number” which is given
to the property owner when they purchase their property.
The local authority has good GIS capabilities and has been creating
GIS layers for points of interest and building footprints with useful
attributes such as the stand number. I am helping them to investigate
the possibility of uploading a shapefile of all property boundaries
with stand number attributes to OSM. This will greatly improve the
geocoding possibilities for Kariba residents.
I am following the steps laid out in the Import Guidelines -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines. I would like to
inform the imports mailing list of our intentions and I look forward
to your comments and advice about this proposed import.
Thanks so much,
Jason
