Government acts on Cloverdale land dispute

GOVERNMENT has put closure to the Cloverdale land ownership wrangle in Goromonzi, Mashonaland East province, after declaring that the piece of land is owned by land developer Glorious Properties.

The 250-hectare piece of land near Ruwa, Goromonzi, was invaded by hundreds of people claiming to be Zanu PF supporters, hindering the construction of an upmarket housing project — a gated community known as Glorious Brooke.

Glorious Properties, which is owned by former Cabinet minister Petronella Kagonye, approached the courts and won the case in June last year.
