Crowborough Farm settlers set to lose properties

THOUSANDS of families, who illegally settled at the Harare City Council-owned Crowborough Farm, are set to lose their properties after the local authority recently approached the High Court seeking their eviction.

In summons filed at the High Court on August 2, Harare City Council cited Universal Housing Co-operative Society, Excellent Stares Housing Co-operative Society, Progoti Housing Co-operative Society, United We Stand Housing Co-operative Society, Mushandiwega Housing Co-operative Society and Ideal Homes Housing Co-operative Society as respondents.
