Chipinge magistrate stops local farmer’s eviction

A CHIPINGE magistrate has stopped the eviction of local farmer Lameck Bvurere by a director in Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Ellen Gwaradzimba’s office and remanded the case to March 9 for further hearing.

Terrence Machocho, who is being accused of abusing his office, had obtained an order at the Chipinge Magistrates Court to evict Bvurere from his subdivision two of Stilfontein of Umzila Farm in Chipinge.

However on Monday, Bvurere successfully applied to stop the eviction through his lawyers from Maunga, Maanda and Associates.
