Army commander embroiled in game dispute

The Zimbabwe National Army is embroiled in a dispute over translocation of game animals from Sussexdale Farm in Domboshava to Sadle Game Farm owned by their commander, Lieutenant General Philip Valerio Sibanda.

The army is trying to move 63 game animals from the farm formerly owned by Geoffrey Kelly Mckinnon, and Markham Paul Mckinnon, who were evicted from the farm on August 30 to pave way for three beneficiaries, who include Cythia Maadza, a war veteran, who is a security officer at the Parliament of Zimbabwe.

Maadza is, however, resisting the move to transfer the game animals to Sibanda, saying she is entitled to the beasts, as she is now the owner of the property.
