Evicted resettled farmers approach Admin Court

Sixteen evicted resettled farmers at Eskbank Farm in Mazowe have since approached the Administrative Court seeking to have a revocation of the offer letters issued to four other individuals by former Minister of Lands and Rural Resettlement Herbert Murerwa, two years ago.

In the court application filed under case number LA10/15, the 16 farmers, being represented by Sylvester Maruza, accused Murerwa of issuing the offer letters to the four individuals in March 2013, for the same land which they had occupied for over 10 years and applying for offer letters without success. The four beneficiaries are Mark Masekesa, Edson Kadzombe, Davison Mupambi and Mexio Chatindo.
