Govt wheels move slowly as Warwick Farm saga drags on

Officials from the Ministry of Lands and Agriculture are allegedly sitting on important documents which has derailed the resolution to the ownership of Warwick Farm in Zvimba district, amid rising tension at the farm as residents and property developers clash.

The feud pitting beneficiaries of Zimbabwe’s land reform programme and a private company, Warwickshire (Pvt) Ltd, has reportedly been complex amid allegations of bribery over the last decade.

Reports of clandestine manoeuvres to own Warwick Farm, coupled by the authorities’ lackadaisical approach to resolve the ownership standoff, have intensified rivalry for land at the farm.
