Army bosses ordered off farm

Zimbabwe National Army Commander, Lieutenant General Philip Valerio Sibanda, Brigadier Stanley Mangena and a Harare lawyer, Purity Chikangaise, have been ordered to stop interfering and removing farm equipment from a Goromonzi farm, owned by war veteran, Cynthia Maadza.

The order against the top army officers came after Maadza, a security officer at the Parliament of Zimbabwe, filed an extremely urgent chamber application at the court on October 12, 2016, accusing the trio of threatening to seize her property from the farm using force.

The farm, referred to as Subdivision 1 of Sussexdale Farm in Goromonzi District, Mashonaland East, was previously owned by Geoffrey Kelly McKinnon, who was evicted from the property on August 30 this year through an order of the court.
